Limits

Ecclesiastes 1:9 

What exists now is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
there is nothing truly new on earth

 

Nothing new?

 

All things that have been … surely will be

and all things that are … have been already.

So somewhere in the past we really can see

Systems here today in the uncertain or steady.

 

The old and sometimes wise are forced aside.

The young have all the answers deep in the mind.

After the reign of Solomon his boy in a free ride

took advise from friends, the young and “bright”.

 

He ignored the advise of the elders in deed

and did not listen to the wise in heart.

His wish to expand in power and greed

resulted in the nation to split apart.

 

It had been long in coming

and could be seen very clear,

that the patience of God has limits,

though God’s loved the nation here.

 

Today in the company youth is ruling.

To succeed in their desires at any cost.

Until God will strike at the young and foolish,

only time then will show what is lost.

 

A new religion has been introduced.

It started gently to make sense.

But now after a pre-planned seduction

the underlying reasons are deeply dense.

 

The burden of responsibility is placed

on the workforce's lowest in rank.

They have to produce and plan

success for the “thinking” tank.

 

Results is the proclaimed motto.

No excuse will be accepted any time.

Except from the young at the top

shifting the lives of the rank and file.

 

Russian roulette with the nozzle in ear

of the underdeveloped in mind.

Only the top knows or the gun is loaded

as they pull the trigger smiling kind.

 

Human depravity is rotten to the core

and in to-day's society is openly shown,

Through murder and rape do I need to say more?

But what about this mental rape syndrone?

 

Twisting and dangling a dollar amount

and every one has a price .

Money ruling as their god

the young live that inside

 

If every one was like the ones on top

or will be the way this should be.

Than to stay with the company takes

to sell your heart and security is free.

 

To identify they'll number your hand

or they will label what's in your head.

They'll help you to stand to be with them

as now enslaved to death.

 

Hooray! hooray! You'll have your way

but for how long my friend?

Judgment is near … already here?

Your last breath is that the end?
