Rise and Fall

Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked, for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out. ~ Proverbs 24:19-20

The story of life
From one man to nations of men
A barrage of chaos

We rise and fall
Creation has lost its mind
Wars, pain, injustice

Wearing masks
Walking among the dead
Not knowing they exist

Eyes that see not
Hearts numb
Hardened by Satan’s wicked pleasures

We rise and fall
Striving to soar among the Heavens
Awaiting something more

Crushed and hurting
Reaching for hope but losing grip
Holding tight to what is known

Lost in selfishness
Greed filling the flesh
There must be MORE

We rise and fall
Created from dust; to dust we return
Blown where the winds may lead

Mourning greets the day
Weeping fills the night
Fear denying futures

Gnashing of teeth
The battle cry goes forth
Fighting for righteousness in an unrighteous world

We rise and fall
The race must carry on
Light reveals hidden darkness
