London burning! What a sight!
Sparks fly upwards in the night.
Hooded figures, mischief-bent,
Running, dangerous, violent;
Smashing, gashing, looting stores,
Grabbing, stealing, breaking laws;
Young and old, black and white
danced with Anarchy that night.
Things are getting out of hand
in this green and pleasant land.
Shame and blame! But I believe
We all are guilty! Adam, Eve –
Snatched the apple from the Tree
Ignoring God – and choosing ‘ME’

‘If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.’
(2 Chronicles 7 v 14)
