There's never been...

by royowen

There's never been a time like now,
but few will listen, they ask how?
For seldom has creation seen
a time like now has never been.

Unsettled lands with ordered laws,
cannot rebuke their plundered shores.
Those coastal cliffs and littered sands
with ordered laws, unsettled lands.

We can't ignore those ancient scrolls,
it will not matter who wins polls.
Those lawless folk on streets they roar,
those ancient scrolls we can't ignore.

Please tell me how, will dark days end?
As deathly shadows stalk and rend.
There seems no way, as proud men bow
will dark days end -- please tell me how?

Recognized


A swap quatrain takes the first line of a stanza and reverses it in the fourth line.
Lamentations 3:22-23 â??the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to end; they are new every morning, great is your faithfulness.â??
Thanks for reading. Roy Owen.
