Shadows

Date:

A king will rule with fairness,
Where mountains reach the sky;
Officials use justice,
Answering the cause why.

Each ruler shall be like,
A shelter from the wind;
Holds water like a dike,
Dutiful disciplined.

A hiding place from rain,
Like streams on the parched ground;
A weary land of pain,
Hearing a moaning sound.

For the vision of those,
Not be blurred what they see;
Just where the water flows,
And where it has to be.

The ears of those who hear,
Have to pay attention;
Knowing the Lord is near,
Because of the tension.

For those who are reckless,
Will start to understand;
Then once they do confess,
They abide as God planned.

Anyone who stutters,
Will be able to speak;
Clearly as he utters,
For what he needs to seek.

Godless fools not noble,
Scoundrels with evil minds;
Like a plague spreads global,
Shining so bright it blinds.

Fake speaking of the Lord,
People hunger and thirst;
All warnings are ignored,
Since Kim Jong-un is first.

The scoundrel is evil,
Ruins people with lies;
Presence of the devil,
While the shadow cries.

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.
