J.M.J.
WAIT NOT TILL TOMORROW
WHEN THE TRAGEDY HAPPENED, YOU AS ONE DID UNITE
AND LOOKED UP TOWARDS THE HEAVENS PAST THE SMOKE TOWARDS GOD’S LIGHT.
THE HEARTS THAT WERE DORMANT ONCE AGAIN BEGAN BEATING
AS YOU JOINED HAND-IN-HAND AND GOD’S NAME WERE REPEATING.
BUT NOW, MY DEAR CHILDREN, SINCE THE SMOKE HAS DISPERSED,
YOUR PRIORITIES CHANGED AND GOD NO LONGER COMES FIRST.
YOUR COUNTRY, DEAR CHILDREN, HAS BEEN PUT TO THE TEST;
YOU RESPONDED IN FORCE BUT HAVE QUICKLY REGRESSED.
THE DUST MAY HAVE SETTLED, BUT THE FIRES STILL BURN
AWAITING THOSE WHO FAILED TO GOD TO RETURN.
MUST THERE BE MORE BLOOD ON YOUR LAND TO BE SPILLED
BEFORE ONCE AGAIN YOUR CHURCHES ARE FILLED?
HOW SAD, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THAT THESE SIGNS YOU IGNORE
FOR THIS WAS BUT A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WILL BE MUCH MORE.
YOU ARE NOW ON THE BRINK OF GREATER TRAGEDY
UNLESS, MY DEAR CHILDREN, YOU RESPOND TO MY PLEA.
MANY TEARS HAVE BEEN SHED SINCE THE SEPTEMBER LOSS,
BUT NOT AS MANY AS I SHED AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS.
SINCE THE TOWERS HAVE FALLEN, SOME A LESSON HAVE LEARNED,
BUT MANY ADJUSTED AND TO DARKNESS RETURNED.
HOW LONG, MY DEAR CHILDREN, DO YOU EXPECT GOD TO WAIT?
BY SEPTEMBER THE ELEVENTH FOR SOME WAS TOO LATE.
WILL YOU WAIT TILL TOMORROW OR PERHAPS THE NEXT DAY
BEFORE MY DEAR CHILDREN AS I ASKED START TO PRAY?
WHAT IF TOMORROW YOUR EYES DID NOT SEE?
IS THE STATE OF YOUR SOUL PREPARED FOR ETERNITY?
TODAY, MY DEAR CHILDREN, IS GOD’S GIFT TO YOU;
USE EACH DAY YOU ARE GIVEN YOUR LIFE TO RENEW.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
