I know of signs
of stars raining down
from the sky
and loosing their glitter,
of the sun
that doesn’t shine for a day
and the moon
that disappears for a time
and then hangs red as blood
and of the powers of heaven that shake.
I know about people trying to make peace
and how the world,
turns more and more to war
and how nations try to gain resources
from each other.
I know about famine
and deadly illnesses,
that spread unending over the continent
and about earthquakes that let cities crumble
and tsunami’s that brings deadly waves.
I know people in cities
that despises each other in the traffic,
who curse in anger,
who find joy from loose girls,
who hang out in nightclubs
and sit self-righteous
in the front rows of the church.
I wonder where you are in it all
and if Christ,
has a place in your heart.
