A POEM…” BUT… “( the negating conjunction)

The world is in a downward spiral

Sin abounds and has gone viral

People shooting and stabbing each other

Kids shot down in front of their mothers

BUT GOD…

Hello neighbor, can you spare a dime

“Get out my way, stop wasting my time”

Ragged old man, no place to call home

In a room full of Christians, he still feels alone

BUT GOD…

Doctor comes in with the results of the test

No good news, they’ve done their best

Just lost my job and the rent is past due

Four children to feed with food just for two

BUT GOD…

Single mom raising a child in the hood

He joined a gang, she’s done all that she could

Homeless child living out on the street

Begging for food, no shoes on his feet

BUT GOD…

With all of life’s ups and downs

In’s and outs, smiles and frowns

Trying to live by your own means and strength

To achieve success you’ll go to what lengths

BUT GOD…

BUT, the negating conjunction

What’s said before it, is made null and void

When circumstances are getting you down

Invite God into your life, and it will rebound

YES GOD !!!
