MOLESTED SANDS OF TIME
Molested sands of time
Scattered on the hostile gale
Wind swept consternation
Fractured vision
Warps their innocent view
Prismatic cataracts
Years of disillusion
Altered perception of reality
Spoon fed mostly lies
Organized propaganda
So many layers of banal deceit
Smother truths delicate pith
Tragic tears of grief
Bomb shelter anguish
Flowing from our children’s perspective
My deepest focused obsession
Peaceful coexistence
Birthright from the highest authority
To walk in righteous form
Grasp His holy counsel
Our only coherent recourse
2 Kings 14:6 (King James Version)
6But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
