A Statement That Was Not True. Poem by Reginald Walker

The Lord‘s wrath comes forth in the beginning of the night.
A mighty righteous storm have suddenly overtaken us.
The proof that something about America was not right.
The proof that it was untrue, the statement, ‘In God we trust.’

The storm of our global sins has flooded America’s shore.
The results of the love of money that we loved to cling to.
We chased after it after saying God, you we adore.
However just for the love of money, the sins that we would do.

Now faced with a destiny that is uncertain as well as unknown.
The love of money deceived us to do things that were so wrong.
The result is more than losing everything that we own.
Our great grandchildren will now pay a debt that is not their own.

Lord what fears for generations America now must face.
By the evidence of our actions, we truly did not trust in you.
Reeling from the pain of enjoying greed and shamed by our disgrace.
The results of ‘In God we trust; ’ a statement that was not true.
