A Vicious Cycle

I want to cry but I can only try; I want to scream but it won’t reach most ears; I want to scold but many will not change; I want to curse but it will never work! I want to bless but people don’t deserve; I want to fight but win I can’t alone; I want to rave but all will call me mad; I want to die but it is not my time. I want to pray but God works in His time; I want to change the world for good but can’t; I want to do much good but never can; I want to be a better soul but fail. And so, I put my trust in God and stay; The world is in a ruin mode for now; Mere human strength can’t set things right at all; Just God must heal the wounds of minds and hearts. The human mind is thinking foolish things; The human heart has gone bereft of love; The love of neighbor has been forgotten; The wrath of God is imminent again. The common man is poorer and hit hard; The craze for easy wealth is catching all; The world believes in cheating, saying lies; The soul of man is stained by sinfulness. So, God permits the Nature’s furies more; But people change for good for short a while; The shocks that Nature delivers will wane; And man is back to his foolish ways again. The heart of man will bounce back into sin; The wrath of God will rain with increased force; But God made world with love and loved man most; God’s mercy follows soon if man relents.
