I Heard

I heard that a suffering was coming So, I decided to have dinner and coffee, Now my belly is full and I have no fears at all Suffering, wasn't coming for me. I heard that a hunger was coming So, I planted a garden and an apple tree, Now I know that I will not ever starve So, hunger it won’t be coming for me. I heard that poverty was coming But, I don't care as I have money and a golden key, I can live happily forever all by myself Poverty, won't be coming for me. I heard that a war was coming But, why should I care I am already free, Let people fight for their own beliefs and freedom War, it is not coming for me. I heard that a disease and famine was coming As people for their life they began to plea, But, I am healthy and strong and I have all my shots A plague, won’t be coming for me. I heard that natural disasters were coming But, I don't care as I am safe and I need not to flee, In my house I will be secure and protected Disasters, won't be coming for me. I heard that refuges in the ocean were drowning So, I bought me a yacht to travel upon the sea, Now I don't have to worry about sinking and suffocation To drown? that won’t happen to me. I heard that Christ soon was coming Nervously I know that into my soul he could see, I am so afraid of his judgment and retribution I know that Christ will be coming for me. Randy L. McClave
