Rebels

Date:

Why does not God set aside time,
For to issue out punishment;
Do those near Him also do crime?
Will they see the Day of Judgment?

People move the boundary lines,
They are stealing flocks of sheep;
During the night as the moon shines,
As they have seemed to never sleep.

They chase away a nearby mule,
As they take an ox for a loan;
But never follows any rule,
Issued from God upon His throne.

They force the needy off the road,
The poor people tremble with fear;
For they carry a heavy load,
And keep shedding tear after tear.

The poor go out looking for food,
Provide children enough to eat;
As they keep a good attitude,
To clothe and have shoes for their feet.

They harvest food from in the field,
That is normally for the beast;
And the leftover grapes they yield,
Made a grand and glorious feast.

All night long they lie in the nude,
Covering not from cold of night;
But still kept a good attitude,
Waking up to the morning light.

But they were drenched by a shower,
That had come down from the mountains;
A dense downpour for an hour,
As the sky suddenly darkens.

They abduct a nursing baby,
From the breast of a poor woman;
Naked she sits for all to see,
The people walk by as they shun.

People dying in the city,
But God ignores them in His sight;
For rebels He takes not pity,
Since rebels are against the light.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
