Trap

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.   Ecclesiastes 1:9

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.   Proverbs 3:5-8

the fear grows, the panic sets in, another tyrant,

another war, another group of evil doers,

pointing fingers, assigning blame,

passing judgment, plotting retribution,

giving in to emotions, deceived by the illusion;

falling into the trap;

in it all there is fear,

in it all there is self-preservation,

in it all there is greed;

I no longer participate in this self-illusion,

this mockery, this secret subterfuge,

this moral dilemma, it is what it is,

nothing can change it, nothing can undo it,

darkness knows not mercy,

evil has it’s day;

good people, blinded by hate,

drowning in the cesspool of their own

self-righteousness, blinded by their own self-worth,

slaves to their preconceived ideas,

prisoners of their dying flesh,

controlled by their irrational fears,

forever repeating history,

forever trusting in their imperfect

and limited comprehension,

nothing has changed, nothing is new,

just a different name, another place;

forever falling into the trap;

everyday Your grace begins anew,

everyday You open the door,

everyday You help me to rise,

everyday You teach me more.
