Questions For A Dying World Gasping

-------------------/The Last (Frenzied) Gasps Of A Dying World: Acts Chronicles 19 (2/3) - Paul's Words To The Disciples at Ephesus

Blood drips from daggers held by men with sullen sunken
eyes, murdering for sport robbing for sordid gain jettisoning
in dark dank alleys the spoils aggrieved and disconsolate numb
to shrills and sobs of families behind them (forever scarred). children
beholden to savages in the amphitheaters
virtue is dead levites, senators, doting fathers buried....for them
their eyes sing a dirge and promenade towards prostitutes
in ostentatious make-up and gaudy garb. daughters drooling for
the aforementioned furtive men foolish, foolhardy obstinately
rebellious to their God - and so the cycle has no reprieve madness
never ends (the placards of beaming smiles and the facades of
jaunty public life notwithstanding. This is not a happy Jerusalem
or Rome or Caesar) .the death of all life.
this generation has not heard of hope or fathomed its affects
far reaching, yet inwardly their hearts gasp for breath
and repentance is only a half step towards sobriety
and belief is only a beckoning glance at reform without power
....lasting...
from the tall glasses of blood and lust and jealous strife
we've fermented and mustered to serve and present as succulent-
full of deceit. Societal misogynistic delusion. Awareness
is the lone and paramount truth
worth mentioning, antidote to all the mind's craven ills, color
to the drab hues of black and grey, pastels of effervescence
beauty that transcends lipstick, sex, or wealth...
for
our bodies
have fallen limp
and given up the spirit
of decency and self respect. Our souls clamor for marriage
to new and refreshing life, moping for another helpmate giving
a chance for the dawn of newness and vibrant heartbeats, everlasting.
Grasp your wrists..... pulse non existent ask yourselves truly
have you received
the animating Ghost of your wildest dreams and sorest needs?
before its too late
before time renders our flesh too cold and bones decay


(Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?)


------------Acts 19:1-8
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.
