Haves and Have Nots/A Dream

And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”   Luke 18:7-8

it’s easy to turn your back when you’re

one of the haves;

have a job,

have a home,

have money,

have food;

have affordable health care;

believing the lies, giving into the fears,

buying into the stereotypes;

they’re all lazy,

they’re all immoral,

they’re all looking

for a free lunch;

they all get what they

deserve;

so afraid they might take something that belongs

to you, some of your hard earned treasure,

all the things you sweated and slaved for,

all the idols you fall down before

and worship;

all the things you sold your soul for;

the have-nots of the world are beginning to rise,

they’re not going away quietly anymore,

they’re tired of the abuse, they’re no longer content

with the crumbs, there are things

bigger than themselves;

things worth dying for;//////////////

the children of men hold their breath,

a final sigh before the meltdown,

a silent pause within the maelstrom,

hearts fail from fear, meeting in secret places,

waiting for what is to come;

like a thief in the night it sweeps them away;

trees smolder and smoke, bursting into flames as

tires begin to steam, their rubber melting

to the highway surface;

no where to run,

no where to hide;

like abandoned wells, their water runs dry,

they sit withering in the sun,

wandering through the wilderness,

lost and alone;

the day is here,

the time is now;

Your mercy endures

to the end, but who shall hear the message?

who shall accept the grace?

when the Son of Man returns,

will He find faith?
