What delightful deceit has charmed mankind,
That headlessly he chose to walk with eyes blind?
As Eve deceived in the Garden of Eden,
Had she really not known the fruit was forbidden?
What difference now are we who walk in ways alike,
We who deliberately choose the path,
Deprived ourselves of guided life?
Society's in a race; society in an aimless race,
Ran as fast, yet subtly away or rather against God and His image.
Culture, technology, all the more religion.
What man sought, what man made-a new direction;
Strayed, hoaxed---a victim of his hostile innovation.
How are we now to distinguish,
Right from wrong, Truth from lie,
When what we create apart from God's design,
We coat with honey, knowing not where to draw the line?
Have we all lost sensitivity?
What of our brothers and sisters whose souls in captivity are darkened--
The poor, the oppressed, the lost, the forsaken?
Has society addressed the deprived humanity,
Or has it only added to the impending birth of immorality?
Have we all lost sensitivity?
What of a loving God, in all His divine supremacy--
The All-knowing, the Almighty, the Moral Lawgiver?
We who have been given the freewill, dare blame God of His inadequacy,
When it is we who willfully abandon Divine intimacy.
Have we all lost sensitivity?
Wake up! For in these days, there shouts a cry of urgency,
But likely must we find vital this warning, this last note of the goodwill:
"Truth hurts, but dear, lies kill."
