Darkest Hour....Is Just....Before The Dawn Poem by James B. Earley

....Injustice......anywhere
Is a threat to justice everywhere
Was King's life...his message in vain
Circumstance thus lumped
God dumped...on us...Trump
What other conclusion does God's wisdom explain

Problematic...around the world
...Events....similar....unfurl
King's parable...of alarm...renew
Good and Evil...together bound
....Each.....the other...found
Reality's...distinct...point of view

God dumped...on us...Trump
Circumstance thus lumped
How else does reality explain
'Cause...in 'mysterious ways'
....God's wisdom....prays.....
King's death...will never ever...be in vain


Author's note:

GOOD AND EVIL

Devastation wrought
In agonizing ill
Of God's omnipotence
..Or..Satan's will

Would...an Omnipotent God
Allow Satan's power..then
Might the Devil himself
Be some necessary sin
*
*
And 'good'....and 'evil'
...Destiny's course
Conceived and executed
..By that...Omnipotent Force

~JAMES B. EARLEY
Author's Note:
'Consequently, if you believe God made Satan, you must realize that all Satan's power comes from God and so that Satan is simply God's child, and that we are God's children also. There are no children of Satan, really.'
― Anne Rice
