Our God reigns- delirious?

40 million babies lost to God's great orphanage
its a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace
if this is a human right then why aren't we free
the only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree

100 million faces, staring at the sky
wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by
the devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug
but still my chinese takeaway could for someone's drug

our God reigns, our God reigns
Forever your kingdom reigns

The west has found a gun and its loaded with 'unsure'
nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure
Psalms one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime
God didn't screw up when He made you
Hez a father who loves to parade you.

Yes He reigns, Yes you reign...
for there is only one God
but we've lost the reins on this world
forgive us pls
as we fight for this broken world on our knees

i feel like i'm fighting on so many fronts. (well sorta)theres so much going on this sick stricken world but because, and merely because i draw a meagre salary from my employer, my job is supposed to be all that matters . while fires of different kinds rage on, all i'm supposed to concentrate on is my job. to maximize, utilize, optimize etc.

never mind about the nuclear test. never mind about the haze. never mind about the human genocide (abortion ) that i feel somuch for. never mind God?

i'm not just any salaried worker. i have a purpose to be here on earth. and without that purpose, i have no reason to be here. but the forces at work seem to be attempting to strip that purpose away from the core of my being.

just because i'm an employee, never mind all that pain and sin that's consuming lives. let that be someone else's headache. transferring ownership of problems from the church..and hence, solutions is by far the enemy's greatest strategy. my headache is just to make money, optimize resources etc. i'm not a guy whereby i can't parcel out my thoughts and emotions into waffle cubes. i feel a right and need to get involved. to feel. to remain disturbed and channel all that disturbance into prayer and whatever necessary action i'm obliged to do. i can't remain ambivalent. my actions shd reflect my attitudes. they go hand in hand.but right now i feel my hands so tied and i abhor this feeling of helplessness.

given another time and era (AND citizenship), i might either be an activist somewhere (don't scoff) or...a college dropout protesting for something. but because i'm not, because my upbringing has taught me to stifle whatever dissent into just meaningless chatter and grumble over coffee, i'll be warring on my knees instead. before the throne of my King.

hopefully that works better.

if only now, that God could capture all the tears and put out all the fires. not just in indonesia.not just the physical fires. the fire that was burning perhaps when the world started turning. the earth is to be a reflection of heaven..sadly, its tending to mirroring hell.
