At a time everything was right, pure and clear <br />on a perfect planet, <br />before daybreak brought forth Lucifer flaming <br />and now all earthly beings have forgotten it. <br /> <br />In Gethsemane the torches burnt bright <br />in the nightly visit of the officialdom <br />while Judas betrayed the Son of God <br />and received silver shekels for it. <br /> <br />At Nürnberg Hitler preached under flare light <br />of new living space for a super race, <br />under load applause and a whole nation become accessory <br />to misdeeds as if coming from the protoplasmic swamp <br /> <br />as if God is not the creator, does not contemplate <br />and do not fold His hand over human existence. <br /> <br /> <br />[Reference: Fireflies by Ernst van Heerden.]<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-a-time-everything-was-right-pure-and-clear-in-answer-to-ernst-van-heerden/
