THE NATIONS

From the very beginning, nations seek power;

The leaders plot and plan, every waking hour.

They strategise, they compromise, for one end;

But all will try to hide their devious master-plan.

 

Nations have always taken the path of war and carnage;

Victims are held hostage, leaders are easily enraged.

Wickedness will find its way to the leader’s heart;

Dark deception, great atrocities will never depart!

 

But the nations have not reckoned carefully;

There is a great God who will judge ultimately.

He knows the hurt the poor have sustained;

Their tears and prayers would not be in vain.

 

No matter how powerful a nation or a man may be;

He is severely limited, for he answers to mortality!

He is but mere Man, made of dust from the ground;

The nations need not be feared for God is around!
