WRITING ON THE WALL<\/p>\n

Friend, can you even see,
\nThe writing on the wall?
\nThe signs are everywhere,
\nThis nation may soon fall.<\/p>\n

Look at our politicians,
\nThey seem to never agree,
\nCorruption is the norm,
\nFrom sea to shining sea.<\/p>\n

The poor are so oppressed,
\nBabies killed every day,
\nBeing homo is now alright,
\nSadly so our laws now say.<\/p>\n

Violence in our classrooms,
\nAnd drugs on every street,
\nCriminals are now victims,
\nWhile cops take the heat.<\/p>\n

Perversion is so rampant,
\nI am filled with disgust,
\nPeople know no boundaries,
\nThey fulfill every lust.<\/p>\n

Our sins are now so many,
\nWe provoke the Most High,
\nSo when His judgments come,
\nWill we even ask Him why?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
