Go ahead, America! Be as bad as we are fat.
Go ahead heaping up wickedness upon wickedness,
And let’s see just how evil we can get.
Repentance is a word seemingly struck from our books,
But finding new ways to murder, lie and steal?
So many innovations in becoming a crook.
Like an ostrich with her head stuck in the sand,
We pretend there’s no God who will bring us to book!
Men-with-men, women-with-women, divorce running amok.
Kids murdering kids, our economy on the skids.
It all reminds me of some stories in the Holy Book.
God told Abraham, “Your children will be in bondage 400 years
Because the cup of iniquity of the Amorites is not yet filled”.
He told Haggai, “Pass a message and say to your friends,
‘Consider, consider your ways that are hastening you to your end!”
He told Abraham if but 10 righteous were found just like Noah,
He’d spare the twin evil cities of Sodom and Gomorrah!
There comes a point, America, this you should know,
When the wrath of God’s judgment must fall, blow-upon-blow.
God told Ezekiel when a land consistently sins,
There comes a threshold that’s crossed, and then,
No matter how many righteous are found therein,
War, famine, pestilence and wild beasts are just around the bend. *
We, the righteous, are promised protection and provision,
While the wicked fall by the thousands under His supervision.
So go on, America, go ahead 'with yo bad self!'
The whole world is watching, but is equally deaf –
Deaf to calls to repentance, forsaking sinful whims.
Lord help us now, even as our cup of iniquity is ...spilling its rim!

* Consider counting the number of times in The Bible God references in a group His four henchmen: sword, famine, pestilence and wild beasts. Then consider how skillfully He cites world hegemon governments in the beastly category in Daniel 8. Perceive both His veiled message to us humans, and also the spiritual nature of hegemon governments, past and present. The USA is the current global hegemon government, and China is a wanna-be global hegemon. Moreover, read and ponder (a) the extent to which these four henchmen are active during the coming tribulation, as revealed in The Book of Revelation; and (b) how that book depicts the final, worldwide ruler of that time, the final anti-Christ -- spiritually BEASTLY!
