Permitted Seems Everything Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Though God gave man ten sacred rules
Through which to live and thrive
Yet more and more we walk as fools
Hopeless to survive


Through wanton sin through filth and shame
God’s wrath is multiplied
So this is why Christ Jesus came
And this is why He died


He loves our world and all within
Its filth! He can’t abide
Yet who repent who’ll turn from sin
May in His shadow hide


We lie we cheat we steal we kill
Blaspheme The Lord our God
Reject His Son defy His will
And fear no more the rod


Permitted! It seems is everything
Nothing is too obscene
Satanic songs we dare to sing
Yet none may intervene


God’s word finds less and less respect
We see it day by day
Politically it’s incorrect
And for the world passé


Men marry men in churches now
And women do the same
But which of them to Jesus bow
Acknowledging their shame


How cunningly the foe will fight
How subtle his deceit
Even his lies are painted white
To thwart God’s true elite
