When Truth is slain,
To win campaigns,
Think governing pains,
From lies that won’t wane.
When Truth is slain,
Righteousness drains.
Of what then remains,
The Bible explains. 1
When Truth is slain,
And lies sustained,
The Lord won’t complain,
Nor liars restrain. 2
When Truth is slain,
And then it’s feigned,
Lies are ingrained,
In hearts retrained.
When Truth is slain,
In public domain,
Some minds are stained,
Wise hearts stay sane. 3
When Truth is slain,
Devils are fain,
To see fruits they’ve gained.
Their works weren’t in vain!
When God’s Truth is slain,
Their goal is attained:
Sinful folks’ with them restrained,
In The Lord God’s …fiery flames! 4

Please ponder this:
The ENTIRE Bible conveys to us:
‘The blessings of believing/obeying The Lord’s Truth,
and the curses of disbelieving/disobeying it.’
John 8:32-36 succinctly captures this key point.
All 66 books of The Bible vividly exemplify it.
Conditions across the world vivify - animate the promised curses!
Bona fide Christians may experience the resulting collateral damages.

1 See: Isaiah 59:4, Jeremiah 9:3, and John 8:44. Though these verses directly address ancient Israel and Judah, sadly, nothing has changed in the sinful, unrepentant hearts of mankind.
2 He will simply extend more amazing Grace to us, that is until……. His appointed time and means of judgments, at the individual, family, society, national and global levels. See: Ezekiel 14:12- 23.
3 In which group are you?? To thine own self, be true.
4 Just in case you may be mistaken, I speak not of hell/hades. Revelation 20:11-15 predicts and pronounces The Lord’s pending judgment on every unrepentant, sinful human being who will have lived to reach His age of accountability (knowing/understanding right-from-wrong). Though v. 14 defines this judgment as the second death, it is not death as we currently know it to be! See: Revelation 14:6-13 and also The Truth Rejection Effect (Poem).
