Easter Poem
Humanity against Humanity
Look at the news, today, yesterday, or a record of compilation from all the devastating actions of one person killing one or more innocent people and claiming not guilty. This is not an accusation of the person perpetrating this evil act on others, although he or she pulled the trigger or some type of weapon to carry out this dasterdersty act, of taking a life.
Even today, May 15, 2022, we saw two incidents where people shopping or praying were gunned down for no apparent reason except being different in race or worshiping their God. It isn’t a surprise that there are sick people in our society who have that ugly synopsis within their make-up to hate some or many persons for reasons only known to them and God.
Where has this atrocity come from? One comment was made that the social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and others may support the theme of hatred and weak minded persons are fascinated with the perception of eliminating those, who in their minds, are the corruption of all that plagues our nation today.
Wherever these extreme suggestions come from the victims who are innocent have become martyrs in their own right. But, we are not seeking to make martyrs for the annals of history or the church. Yet, that is just what happened this week-end in Buffalo, NY and a town close to Los Angeles, CA.
Recently I alluded in an article titled “Events that changed world history” using Pearl Harbor as one example, where the attacks by foreign enemies put this nation into WW II. However, the willful notion of an enemy to become an aggressor is not the sole reason many nations follow that pattern. Individuals acting as persons who want to change their counterparts’ who are innocent bystanders have the same intentions as nations attacking helpless countries for their own satisfaction.
It isn’t one person chasing down another, it is humanity against humanity. Where does this evil get its suggestion to conquer and destroy? If there would be one simple antidote for all this evil we as humans seem to endure, then we could rest peacefully. That hasn’t entered our human environs.
We are aware that for Satan to take down the church, he begins by attacking the family unit. Once he has been successful there the rest becomes like butter in his hands. Similarly, if the world will become an easy target he forces the evil of domination one nation against another. These reckless individuals who perpetrate evil towards other human beings are in control, even for a moment and the rule of one human against another human is accomplished.
Pearl Harbor, 9/11, the Synagogue in Pittsburgh killing 11 people and the most recent atrocities were simple humanity attacking humanity. The blame is obvious! Satan has found a way to destroy the church by destroying those who are the most vulnerable. Seeking God is the only way we will bring this evil to a close.
Ralph B. Hathaway, the evils that have become Satan's weapons.
