As Giant Fall

Its hard to stay sane when it seems that everywhere you turn there is some deep darkness and societal malfunction. The children are being stolen and eaten and raped, the celebrities all know, the people know, the justice system has failed and is a mockery. Politicians use people. They want their attention and their vote so that they can acquire enough rich living and decadence before the system seizes. The whole world is being fueled by hate. Racists tell the racial to hate others over race, and foolish people follow it. They're zealous to inflict pain and suffering on those that never harmed them. The price of living rises, the price of food rises, viruses spread and there is a constant stream of those that demand our subservience.  our culture is spitting on value and truth, telling us that everything that is real is a lie and all that is false is the new normal. Than men can be women and children can be lovers.  We go about our days under this onslaught of oppression because we lie to ourselves and say that the weekends are free.

 We’re not free to garden in our front yards, or not wear masks, or to be left alone. We’re not free to retain our God given rights, to attend in person services without the courts and the governments saying that they’ll exact their pound of flesh.  The music is poisoned. The shows are poisoned. Art has been diluted to ensure it doesn’t inspire or provoke an emotion that would stir life in the heart of the subjugated.   

 We’re stolen from.  We’re prostituted into systems that generate wealth for others that run off of dreams of freedom, we’re shackled to debt, we’re allowed to pretend we are free as we choose what chains will bind us.  History gets erased and the dawn of a new day that is the same as the darkest ones past rises before us. 

 They tell you that the earth is dying and the seas are boiling and that the temperatures are rising. They tell you that the we have to listen to the doctors and the scientists and not question the narrative as  they’re shouting over and blotting out the doctors and the scientists that show the truth of the lies we’re being force fed. 

 We laugh in low light because if we look right into the darkness it blinds us.  The trade wars and the deficits and debts push us further into destruction.  Each day I watch society become less and less human.  Our shock sparks outrage that is lost in the 24 hour news cycle. Or worse yet, we see the sickness and the plague of immoral cancer and we imagine it away. 

 Cowardice goes along to get along and extends its hand in friendship to that which seeks to destroy. 

 The church is eating itself. It consumes its own time and energy rehashing the same arguments that its had for thousands of years. It waters down the word of God to the point that its indistinguishable from secular advise. We stand around bickering the nuances of word meanings and vowel points, and why God is not who God says He is and how God is who He says He is.  We drink down pitchers of self righteousness and smugness as we talk about how set apart we are and how holy we’ve become over the world full of people that the Messiah came to save. We’ll strut and peacock and parade our doctrinal knowledge around but at the first sign of someone disagreeing with us, we’ll bristle and name call, and decimate them. 

 Men are seldom fathers. Women are often trying to be father and mother. The kids are broken and everyone knows it.  Femininity and the grace can cure much. Beauty that is true beauty wields power of inspiration. Not the rampant hollow distortion of beauty.  

 Its hard to stay sane in this world. They say that war is hell... well, then what is this.
