Silence

Date:

How long am I to cry?
Only silence I hear;
And I just wonder why,
Which causes me to fear.

Violence surrounds me,
But God does not rescue;
Everywhere I see,
What I cannot construe.

So why must I witness,
Evil and wrongdoing;
Watching this wickedness,
So many pursuing.

Quarrels and disputes rise,
Violence in my view;
It is not very wise,
To distort what is true.

His teaching has been blunt,
Justice not carried out;
No choice only to punt,
Because of so much doubt.

Wicked people surround,
Those who follow the Law;
Anarchy is abound,
Through their perverted flaw.

Look among the nations,
Amazed and astonished;
Because of migrations,
Christians are admonished.

Something needs to be done,
What we will not believe;
A pathway that will stun,
Stops foes not to receive.

They march throughout the earth,
As a reckless nation;
Taking all our worth,
Causing a mutation.

They terrify with fear,
With justice of their kind;
O Lord, please make it clear,
Help me to ease my mind.

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.
