I look at Thy world, Father gave thee in grace
and apprehend the future you face.
I see all the sin that rules over all.
I look at the man who no longer stands tall.
I am filled with foreboding and hidden fear
and see all the greed you cherish so dear.
Your world is mired in conflict and ravished by war
in quest of the power you seem to adore.
Is it ‘Power’ that will make men strive
to cause a war and loss of lives?
But, ‘Power’ is the seed of ‘Hate’;
Is it worth serving Satan’s fate?
Parents lose children so far away
and children are orphaned in the same way.
I see all the hatred and feel all the tears
and so it continues throughout all the years.
The Father is watching; The hour is late.
His creation of love defiled by hate.
Will His tears cause the clouds to render the rain
and cause the lands to flood again?
Will Thee raise a hand with earthquake and fire
or are plagues and famine the end desire?
Will Thee gather Thy faithful to meet in the sky
to bring them back home with Thee to abide?
Lord, I pray Thee, bestow us Thy love.
Grant us Thy grace from Thy heaven above.
Forgive us our sins, Lord; It’s us who’s to blame.
These things I pray for in Jesus Christ name--Amen!

This is a truly inspiring poem but there is not enough about the PUNISHMENTS God has in store for sinners. What will happen is that all sinners will be DRAGGED down to HELL for CENTURIES of AGONY and TORTURE and then they will be CRUSHED to ATOMS. In the meantime all those who are saved will be having a nice time in Heaven.
