It Is So Sad

 

It is so sad…

The state of our world,

And what some are fighting for

Seems so absurd.

 

Intelligent they are

And well credentialed

But their decisions and endeavours

Are so non-sensical.

 

They say it’s science

As if science is to blame

But I say, it is sad;

Such scientists are insane.

 

Male and female:

How much do they amount?

The so-called intelligent

Has now lost count.

 

Do not discriminate,

This is viewed as hate

And we all live in this world

However sad its state.

 

It is so sad…

The state of our world,

And what some are fighting for

Seems so absurd.

 

The Bible is vilified

Morning, noon and night

As what used to be dead wrong

Is now seen as right.

 

AI is on the rise

And IQ is on the slide

And we wage war to attain peace

With all we despise.

 

Don’t punish wrong

Instead reward it,

This kind of reverse psychology

Should do the trick.

 

Life is a game

We play all day long,

We must play our cards smart

If our hand isn’t strong.

 

Outsmart the poor

In order to get rich

And if something doesn’t belong

Try a force-fit.

 

Remember, it’s the end,

By whatever means:

At times it’s collateral damage,

Occasionally it’s the team.

 

Nothing is too much

To satisfy for one’s dream

And sometimes it may be necessary

To sacrifice the team.

 

It is so sad…

The state of our world,

And what some are fighting for

Seems so absurd.

 

Absurdity has become

Something to go after

And if such were not so tragic

It could bring laughter.

 

But alas, it is so sad

Though many may deny

And while the insane laugh

The hurting cry.

 

Mirth to the insane

Is death to the humane

And while the apathetic sleeps

It occurs again and again.

 

It is so sad

How the Bible is reduced

To an assortment of fairy tales

Some authors produced.

 

It is no different

From any other book,

Just do not take it too seriously;

Have a casual look.

 

It can be gripping

And mighty convicting

And the serious reader may feel

That something is missing.

 

Don’t take the chance

You may be changed

And then everything in your life

Will be rearranged.

 

Priorities will change

But for the better

And the sad state of the world

Will not ultimately matter.

 

It is so sad…

The state of our world,

And what some are fighting for

Seems so absurd.

 

Called to be salt

And called to be light

The believer’s responsibility

Is to exemplify the right.
