The modern world of children, men, women - <br />Enslaved by greed for wealth and luxury, <br />Engaged in a rat-race for authority, <br />Aims to subjugate neighbor and brethren! <br /> <br />All sense of values has been shown the door! <br />Missing is humaneness and compassion; <br />A beastly nature has become fashion; <br />The rich blood-suck the innocent and poor! <br /> <br />Man's conscience lies blunted, blindfolded; <br />Man's heart has turned like stone without feelings; <br />Man's mind is split and takes on virtual wings; <br />Man's body parts surreally, moulded! <br /> <br />The Master of the universe looks on <br />With awe and anger at His creation; <br />The freedom given has made each nation <br />Abominably sinful and war-torn. <br /> <br />The love of God has left the human heart; <br />The love of neighbor is a distant call; <br />Destructiveness has gained inroads in all; <br />Deception, sin and vice - a growing art! <br /> <br />How long can God his wrath and patience hold? <br />Did He give human beings long a rope? <br />Does mankind need the Maker's trust and hope? <br />Is it the end of God's patience and world? <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 7-03-2013<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-modern-trend-of-things/
