Unnamed Number 68

“Look at the nations and watch – and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.”   Habakkuk 1:5

Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn saying, “Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?” Will not your debtors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their victim. Because you have plundered many nations, the people who are left will plunder you. For you have shed man’s blood, you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. “Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin! You have plotted the ruin of many peoples, shaming your own house and forfeiting your life. The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it. Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime!”   Habakkuk 2:6-12

a land of mindless sheep, led by corrupt shepherds

and hidden agendas, blindly running to and fro,

searching for the latest ‘miracle’ cure,

listening to anyone offering answers,

speaking lies disguised as truth,

slaves to their greatest fears;

a land beyond promise or hope.

seeking shelter from the gathering storm,

not willing to accept the consequences,

unable to confess the guilt, killing in the

name of justice, denying the greed,

turning a blind eye to the have-nots,

deciding who is right and who is wrong,

who lives and who dies,

a land of hypocrisy and dry bones,

dying before they are dead;

trapped within chains

of their own making.
