Connect the Dots

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Now is the time when nations rise
To fight against our God.
The foolish men of all the earth
Rebel and feel His rod.

If judgment starts with His own sons;
Then what of the ungodly?
Who could have saved the wicked
From destroying their own bodies?

The peace of God was meant for men.
But most of them reject it.
They do not join the points of light;
Their picture is unconnected.

The message of this poem is made
Unclear to those who fall.
Predestined for destruction;
They’ll remain outside the wall.
