Condemned Houses (a poem about the lost in dreary housing estates)

[David1701]

I wrote this forty years ago, on a dreich (a Scots word meaning, gloomy, wet, dreary weather) day, having recently been saved and with a prayerful sadness about all the lost in the city.

Condemned Houses

Long, sad eyes, in grey stone walls,
Look through the driving rain,
Raindrops cleanse those eyes like tears,
Like tears they wash away the pain.

Inside, the words of those within,
Are of the world around,
And every one is lost in sin,
Which gives the world its saddest sound.

Street upon street and all the same,
Thousands of houses, set in rows,
No people move; oh, what a shame,
Seeing so many gravestones with windows!

David N. (June, 1986)

I beheld and i saw a great House by which many houses sat under and were influenced by this House .
Upon walking up closer i beheld that within it were men and women dressed in wool
and crying this is the way to attain peace on earth .
Then a voice said GO to and behold what goes on .
So i walked up to its entrance and i seen a cross , and a koran , and a budda statues and pipes of etc of all religons .
And its leaders all crying to the children , come ye for this is the way and we all serve and worship the same God
and must now find common ground for world peace n saf ety .
And i stood stunned and wondered but on HOW earth can this be ...........
Go too and behold its beginning and see how it was first pumped into the churches .
And i beheld men speaking of a seeker friendly and a judge not correct not mentality .
Then i realized HOW the evil had taken them all over .
IT had done so by means of a sensual love that it had claimed was of GOD .
And that love did not expose sin , but rather allowed leaven to remain
and that leav en surely did grow . and as it grew
their love became more and more accepting of sins
And their tolerance skyrocketed towards sins and etc
but at the same time their love became hate ANY time the words of GOD were spoken
that exposed their sins and errors .
And the leaven grew and it grew . And it merged these houses with the great HOUSE .
And The GREAT HOUSE had been doing all to merge the false religoins in as well .
And then i noticed phase two to now merge these many houses also with the houses of false reliogins had began .
And even then when i warned them this is a false gospel and its peace be of anti christ .
IT was the same five words by them , JUDGE NOT , God is love .
And now a word .
OH I KNOW GOD is love , but satan and a harlot can twist love into something else
it claims be of GOD and in time that love leads only to more and worse rebellion agaisnt CHRIST , his saints , and the words of God .
