Justice only when ... Love rules
When Jesus speaks:
John 16:32-33
32 Look, a time is coming—and has come—when you will be scattered,
each one to his own home, and I will be left alone. Yet I am not alone,
because my Father is with me. 33 I have told you these things so that in me
you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering,
but take courage—I have conquered the world.”
Justice only when … Love rules
If believers in legal authority go up against
believers in "higher" authority … it seems a
miss-match with legal authority always winning.
Or it seems that way … but who wins in the end?
In contemplation stepping back
to watch the world pass by.
See normal things turn upside down
as society wonders. Why?
Like doctors ... who commit to life
abort the unborn child.
These examples of "integrity” then
wonder why their offspring runs wild?
The teachers in our public schools
teach their own opinions.
Their guidelines are what they feel
and to education become a hindrance.
The religeous who really should be
a haven of true perception,
is being built on one's own thought
and personal interpretation.
Justice left us long ago
since laws are made by lawyers.
Judges are chosen from among them
to protect their "lowly" calling.
The hospitals and nursing homes
are just here for business.
Charity flushed down the drain
for profit and greed … is n't it?
We move from place to place in cars
and when they break … we wonder.
Is there an honest man at all
who'll fix it without plunder.
You buy a house … a simple place,
for a price that seems about right,
then the banker or the mortgage folks
gulp up interest with all their might.
You go to work to make enough
for yours to go through life
and there is also dishonesty,
envy, pride and strife.
It seems that where-ever you go
every-thing is out of whack
and when you step out into this world
just expect to get sacked.
When you are down on the ground
expect continuing late hits
for there is no-one to throw a flag
for this world is just the pits.
The pit in which satan dwells.
The place where death wants to rule.
The only hope is Jesus Christ,
Who has power to over-rule.
