DARK WAVE<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

06-14-2022<\/p>\n

The country was in a wreck,
\nThe liberals were in control,
\nPromoting ungodly wickedness,
\nAnd digging their own hole.<\/p>\n

Their laws defied our God,
\nPutting flesh before the soul,
\nIt was only a matter of time,
\nBefore it would take a toll.<\/p>\n

God looked down from Heaven,
\nHis anger seethed like a coal,
\nWhile many Christians prayed,
\nTo make this country whole.<\/p>\n

It comes down to a question,
\nHow much more will He endure?
\nOur sins are before His face,
\nLike an open, putrid sore.<\/p>\n

The stench of our rebellion,
\nRises up to Heaven’s door,
\nHe waits for our repentance,
\nHis mercy is forever more.<\/p>\n

But if we remain so proud,
\nAnd His warnings we ignore,
\nThe day will finally arrive,
\nWhen He will even the score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
