Evil

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)

Evil pervades the earth hidden in plain sight..

Darkness now has turned itself into an angel of light...

People are deceived taken in its flow..

From a trickle
To a stream
A river
Flows..

Now dirty water wormwood is its name..

We drink its poison
Buy it we are slain..

Promises that are empty suffer defeat...

Their carcasses
To the birds
Give for
Meat.

Angels sickle
Gathers up
The grapes
Into
His winepress
Of Indignation
This will be
Their fate.

Then the righteous will shine forth in the kingdom of their Father...

And all could be
Forgiven
If we
Tried
A little harder.

      The battle dear brother, is in our heart.
      Examination of ourselves is where we start.
      With fear and trembling we approach the Lord,
      Almighty Father. We must reward.
      He is the one that saves the day.
      He calls His children from East to west,
      From all tribes, and nations,and peoples, and tongues,
      Those will worship in spirit and truth...
      The battle is over, when we get the proof x.

    Microplastics are a mother…At least that is what I call wormwood plastic…That can even be found in our drinking water…

      He gives power to the faint, and to them that have no strength he increases strength.

      Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall utterly fall:

      But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagle's, they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not be faint.
