Will you die for him?
The country is confused and tearing apart,
man, woman, and child lost their way.
What was up is down, and down is up,
upsetting to see God's garden in disarray.
Will you die for him?
What do we do, where do we go,
when there is no one to hear our cries.
Living to serve him each and every day,
pleading, begging, how little mankind tries.
Will you die for him?
When told to give up all you ever knew,
placed in a glass prison of doubt and fear.
Told what to say, think and do,
thinking twice before shedding a tear.
Will you die for him?
God has stood close by your side,
when awake, when sleeping, working too.
Forsaking his majesty is the sin of sins,
his son Jesus was crucified for me and you.
Will you die for him?
Our country is crying oceans of tears,
tired of deception, tired of lies.
Christianity is pushed to the very brink,
is this what Nostradamus saw with his eyes?
Will you die for him?
Another birthday is soon to come,
the birth of Jesus soon in celebration.
Yet here on earth we see and stay silent,
through the courts his words in deliberation.
Will you die for him?
Being told what to do, eat, weigh, and drink,
smoke, go, think, believe, and say.
Cancelling Christmas, decorated trees,
such apathy, nothing left, but to pray.
Will you die for him?
Told to believe in the new "green" God,
Washington's face stomped on with glee.
Have we really come as far as we think?
Maybe I am lost in this new world I see.
Will you die for him?
Will you stand on the capital steps,
renouncing your soul, then your faith?
Or will you stand tall with ultimate pride,
will you die for him, or in shame hide?
Will you die for him?
(I will)

| To alter the rhyme scheme at the very end was an interesting choice. I rather like the finality of it. |

| Karen, I hardly know what to say! This is one that I wish every one the world over could read,and understand just what is happening in our world today. But it seems the Bible is so true, most of humanity are deaf dumb and blind to all of Creator's glory and grace,and the times they sure are looking dark! Kudo's to you Karen ! |

| Dear Karen, we cannot be the martyrs. Jesus promised life and not death. Life is a gift and we should use it to stand up for ourselves. We should be pure for the days to came. We should never despair, this is just a trial. I love your poem, but I prefer to live for the Day to come. Love Emile |

This Karen is a strong spiritual that I know comes deep from within your soul. Although I am not a "Christian" I do believe in the premise that we should all love each other but never sacrifice our heritage and religious believes at the cost of someone elses. Tolerence and respect is a two way street and both sides must learn to abide by it.

| How about first living for him, in every act we do, and dying to the world of make believe. Being told to believe in a new green God, stamped by Washington face, The greed God, is also the one that killed Jesus, for thirty more or less Shekels, we are still selling him to the highest bidder today aren't we? A very powerful hardhidding message, much needed today. Hugs! Jasmin Horst |

"...will you die for him, or in shame hide?..." and around are so much same that it cannot be hidden. People are going too fast, perhaps should them stop and look back to see how much they have already lost...

An effective rant put forth in poetry format on the ills of society gives us a multidimensional view with the accompanying photography. You've covered a lot of ground here, Karen and a lot of sky...it's good to see Nostradamus in a line here, too...it adds the dimension of prophecy...be well.
Love,
