Frozen in time
Like dead fish in ice
Staring unseeing
As the world goes by
New calendar comes
Hangs on the wall
Years go by
Clock keeps ticking,
With nonchalance
As if nothing happened at all
Riding the Time train
Present turning into Past
They say everything is temporary
Nothing is made to last
What world will greet me
When I melt the ice, and
Steps out the unfrozen Me
A primitive creature
In a world full of miracles
Which I have never seen?
Should I ask for redemption
For my greatest sin?
The sin of refusing to change
The sin of not giving in
God whispers back
"Why are you calling on me?
I am the old God
I am also guilty as sin
I refused to change
Same as you did
I can offer you peace and freedom
Those are old medicines
The world has changed my boy
They made a fossil out of me
Wealth and Power are the new Gods
People worship
Sadly my son you need something
Which I can't give
Grow a skin very thick
The world has forfeited shame
Honour and ethics will bring you defeat"

A new New Testament written on a dollar bill and prophesized by Jeff Bezos have Amazon send me a copy. Truth that gives meaning to the phrase In God We Trust.
