There’s An Enemy In Our Nation
By: Maxine M.

There’s an enemy in our nation, silent and unseen
This enemy is a cruel, devoted, diabolical fiend
He invades our homes, walks our streets, appears on the political scene

He’s been around since time and has brought mighty nations to their knees
History records he attacks with stealth…as deadly as you please
With crafty & cunning promise of wealth, comfort and ease

A false sense of security & peace…this enemy’s special tools
Practically unnoticed, he took God’s name from our public schools
The UNBORN have NO rights!!...through his influence, the high courts sadly rules

Now years have passed and untold numbers have parished…we say we are appalled
But have we carried a picket sign in protest…our Senators, have we written or called?
Do we consider a candidate’s pro-life stance when new leaders are to be installed?

For MANY of our leaders are CORRUPT!!...it’s been proven beyond doubt
But in their powerful position, “PORK” for OUR state, they can bring about
So we look the other way instead of voting them OUT

“Assurances” of instant gratification, wealth, & fame he’s skillfully used
We don’t call sin a sin because “intolerance” will be accused
No wonder our children grow up bewildered & confused

He’s pushed for “same-gender” marriage…some accept it with applause
But are we AS vocal by speaking out to DEFEND our God’s laws
To destroy the basic family unit…this enemy’s ultimate cause

Our parents would have been SHOCKED at what passes for entertainment today
Language and subjects unfit for children are ALLOWED because of the sponsor’s “Big Pay”
But it’s all taken in stride, ignoring that decency had gone astray

Sunday, a day to “dress up”, attend the local worship hour
But the enemy WATERS DOWN the message…denies The Blood’s saving power
He delights to turn a church into a social club…with a “feel good” philosophy he will shower

We feel righteous indignation as we watch the evening news
SOMEONE should do SOMETHING!!...the response we most likely choose
Then we change the channel and our anger soon is soothed

The enemy whispers, “You can get involved LATER, now it’s time to relax and have fun”
So we go about our daily routine…NOTHING to change the problems have been done
And that’s all it takes for this enemy to have WON

He’s already planning a victory celebration…in anticipation, his eyes are lit with glee
Because his STRATEGY is on track, with “indifference” everywhere he can see
YES!! There’s an enemy in our nation and his name is APATHY

Judy,
I thought I'd come and visit today. And I'm so glad that I did!

Your Mother's newest poem is right on the money! Everyone who reads it, should stop and consider where they stand, in today's political enviroment. And also where they stand with the Lord, amen?

Heb. 2:3 says, "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation...." Apathy and neglect are enemies we all need to escape, amen?

Thanks Judy, and to your Mother, for posting such great truth, and inspiration!

God's best to you, and yours,
Love,
Marge

Mother's Day by: Maxine M. (this is cute) Our first parents lived in a paradise of ease Their original days were without toil, doing as they pleased Enjoying God's garden of bountiful, fruitful trees There was nothing to fear, as all the animals were tame As they came one by one for Adam to name The perfect marriage, there was no one else to blame The ideal life, but one thing they both never knew Was the loving touch of a Mother, as not from childhood they grew Of that special bond from child to Mother, they had no clue A Mother hadn't warned, "Don't talk to that snake" "He's not what he seems, he's a phony and a fake" "If you listen to him, it will bring sorrow and heartache" So Eve raised her children without Mother's advice Labor pains and discomfort were disobedience's price A Mother certainly would have made her think twice When the question "why do it this way?" came around She couldn't reply, "It...
WHAT DID JESUS SEE? by Maxine M. The world saw Peter as an unlearned fisherman, nothing special at all Simply mending his nets, hoping today would yield a big haul BUT what did Jesus see? He saw the one whom He'd call "The Rock" The one to found His Church, the leader of His flock The world saw Levi as a dreaded tax collector Lowest of the low, a traitor, considered a Roman defector BUT what did Jesus see? He saw him as Matthew with a loyal heart, faithful and true Knew he would be useful in the ministry he was to do The world saw the Pharisees as superior, righteous, ceremoniously clean Loving to stand in public, praying just to be seen BUT what did Jesus see? He saw them as hypocrites, fools, blind guides Saw them as well-polished tombs, but inside rottenness hides The world saw Saul as an enthusiastic, young Pharisee filled with zeal Persecuting new Christians, their newly found joy to steal BUT what did Jesus see? He saw him as Paul, a specially chosen vessel, a sinne...
Childlike Faith By: Maxine M. A short time ago, a long-time politician was laid to rest The last of the patriotic brothers…in America, their lives they’d invest People lined the streets expressing grief, paying tribute & honor with considerable zest A crowd gathered on the Capital’s steps engrossed in this somber affair But did you notice the small children quietly playing without a care? Just having fun, making faces at each other while parents were unaware Wiggling & anxious to be on with life…shed those “good” clothes that must stay clean Unconcerned what “Teddy’s” passing would bring to the political scene Confident & trusting their parents would keep life safe & serene For children are children in spite of color, nationality or religious creed Where prejudice hasn’t been formed, childlike acceptance will intercede They’re refreshingly innocent…not yet carrying our burden of ‘will I succeed’ T...
