Who in the world ...?


The world changed
when
Adam and Eve
no longer
followed God

when
Adam and Eve
listened
to the voice of a serpent

when
Adam and Eve
reasoned
God did not know All

when
Adam and Eve
sinned.

As the world changed
the people
followed
their own desires and interests

the people
listened
to their peers

the people
reasoned
they could find a way out of the chaos

the people's
choice
was to sin.

The world changes still
good and bad
ugly and sweet
poor and rich
life and death

Who owns the world

Who causes its problems

Who will destroy it

Who?!

Who are you
You, who live in the world
Are you of the world
Do you too follow
the voice
of error

Or have you
heard
the still small voice
of God
amid your pain
and sorrow

Have you turned away
from the world
and what it represents

Have you turned to
the One Way
the Only Way
to
redemption
salvation
completeness

Have you turned to
God
through His Son,
Jesus Christ?
