This poem, “What’s in Store?,” was originally written January 14, 2025. The poem is obviously describing the events of the day, and so I did a search to see what was going on then. First mentioned was Donald Trump’s purported efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Next were the stories about the Southern California fires. And then there was the situation with Gaza and Hamas, and the Ukraine-Russia conflict, etc. But this also describes what is going on yet in our nations and world today.

Contradictions, lies galore,
All in order, what’s in store?
Criminal charges, so what’s next?
All upheaval, all perplexed.

Fires raging, houses gone,
No one answers for what’s wrong?
Folks abandoned from their storms.
Is expected this new norms?

Much confusion, much debate,
Will he do this? Much too late?
What’s the future? Where we go?
Who’s in charge? Sure that you know?

Many questions but few answers,
For we have so many “dancers.”
Left or right, not really there,
In the middle, that’s the flair.

Institutions can’t be trusted.
Some of them need to be busted.
Rearrangements are in order.
Much infringement, much disorder.

What’s the future? Oh, please tell!
Things get worse, and not get well?
Bible teaches worse will come
Pain advances, worse for some.

The grim reaper at the door,
After rich and after poor.
No escaping, if your fate.
No retracting if too late.

Jesus calling, turn from sin,
Obey Him, and not your whims.
Follow Him where’re He leads you.
Drink in His Word, your faith renew.
