When the wind of history blew
The banking system shivered
Drew its coat around itself
and carried on
When the wind of history blew
Governments trembled
Threw some money into the banking system’s begging hats
then carried on
When the wind of history blew
The people paused and
For a moment considered a future different
To one they had relied on
When all seemed to be restored
Once again they carried on
But few saw the cracks
Opened up by the wind
Growing, creaking its way into the system
Space is being created
Space into which a new Kingdom will come
Quietly without much fanfare
But sweeping across the nations
Blowing through
Sculpting a new tomorrow
Wow, I love this poem. It really does feel that everyone (here in the UK at least) is just carrying on regardless. The recession is over, apparently, so we can get back on with our self-indulgence and complacency. Does this infect the Church? Sadly I think so.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon. It does make me wonder where it will lead to if we do just carry on. I pray there is a build of those who will make a difference though - maybe the faceless generation rising mentioned in Martin Scott's blog? http://3generations.eu/blog/?p=1552
