HOW MUCH LONGER?
So many thing have changed
in my sixty eight years on earth.
Some gives me sadness.
Others give me mirth.
I can remember as a boy
going to school,
We use to read verses
from the Bible,
then we would pray.
We said pledge allegiance
to the flag with our hand
over our heart.
Then we sang
God bless America.
Children are not allowed
these privileges today.
And we ask,
''Why?''
This world has changed more
in the past sixty eight years
than it has in the thousands
of years before.
I remember when Atlanta, Ga.
was like Under Ground, Atlanta.
There were only thousands
of people living there.
Many roads around were dirt.
Now millions live and work there.
And the city has many
high rise building reaching
to the clouds.
Yes, we have all these
modern conveniences,
but at what expense?
We worry about our
freedom and our defense.
How much longer
can this go on?
The end is near.
Jesus is soon coming
to take His Bride home.
