This dying world

To threaten man’s autonomy

his third world, false economy,

is that which truly does offend

for then this rule of self must end.

 

To say this is a dying world

the remedy in Christ unfurled,

upsets the human applecart

our kingdoms perishing, with art.

 

To say we’re sinners from the Fall

that Adam sinned so then did all,

upends our see-saw of good deeds

and sends us to Another’s deeds.

 

To threaten man with punishment

is what the world thought Moses meant,

but Jesus came to die for you

in Him you die, to rise anew.
