Habakkuk 2

Then the Lord replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

Lies and Betrayals

Lies and betrayals, 

And many a tale, 

And multitudes sacrificed 

While their chiefs hailed. 


Ribbons and marches,

And buildings and arches,

And letters of magnitude,

And those of gratitude.


Crowds of confusion

And lots of illusions

Leaves many in darkness

Regardless of smartness.


The enemy knows how to fool,

Armored with many a tool,

Knows where our triggers lie,

Knows that for what we’ll die.


For he has observed us,

Knows just what we’ll do,

Knows just how to trick us

To get us unglued.


So we have to be on 

The lookout for him,

So we don’t fall prey

To his tricks, while he grins.


So we can’t go blinded,

Move fast pace ahead,

Without taking time to

Inquire of our Head.


There’s so much that’s out there

So much to digest,

That we can’t afford to not pray,

Can’t do less.
