Hello Roy,
well done on your post exposing the wickedness of a society that is doing all it can to deny the existence of God so that they can continue on in their depravity. As the word says, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. While there are some who are confused or afraid to take a stand for what they know is right, there are others who are intent on leading them astray. They aren't happy to just disobey God, they want to deny the very laws of the universe and thus deceive themselves. I suppose all we can do is pray that their eyes will be opened before they can no longer seek repentance. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful, truthful poem. Have a blessed day.

Well said in your logical Quatern poem about our gender identity problems we have these days. The evil one is always trying to deceive people with other ways to find contentment than in Christ and His redemption.

I loved the scriptures you quoted to accompany your beautiful quartern poem. I have never understood how that message can be interpreted any other way.
Well done Roy.

Comment from GWHARGIS
I think the woke movement is very dangerous. We will see and hear wht they allow us too. But just like mean people, they can hit you with external things, but they can't take the joy out of your heart. The woke can tell you you cant say certain things, but no one can tell you how to view or feel. What's right for you ain't necessarily what is right for the rest. I concur with your view point.

Comment from Wendy G
An excellent quatern - and a fine counterpoint to all the rubbish in our present culture. We can be caring for all fellow human beings ("Love your neighbour as yourself") but we need to be discerning as to right and wrong, and always separate people from behaviours (accept the former, but do not accept behaviours which go against God's instructions).

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Roy,
Yes woke is disturbing. It sounds good to begin with. Being more cognizant social injustice. But it seems to be just for injustices against African Americans. Anyone can be a victim of injustice and all should try to stop it everywhere it erupts with both physical action or prayers.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a nice week.

Hi Roy
I'm not doing too many reviews these days, but I saw this one come along and decided to reveal it
Thanks some of your lines of nine syllables because they have feminine endings like blender that mine has nine syllables and some of the other ones do as well (mother)
The woke term was around a long time before I heard it. I think I understand it to mean that you realize that all men are equal and that they should be treated that way.
But I think another thing it might do is say if you're not woke then you're a bad person. That may or may not be true, but it shouldn't be assumed.
You can be woke and be a bad person too
Your quote from Genesis 2 is interesting to me. Because it explains why we can say man which includes women and children. Some women have taken umbrage at the way we use man to mean the whole class of people.
And, you write it all beautifully. I hope you understand that I won't be doing too many reviews.
But at least I did this one

Comment from ESOSTINE
This is very apt and beautifully written to express a total rejection of man-made philosophies that tend to question the wisdom of God, the Creator.
'I'm simply not another gender,
that has been mixed in nature's blender.....
I'm not some strange and foreign seed,
that's planted to fit fate's dark need.'
Well done, dear Roy. Thanks for sharing your inspired thoughts.

I heard someone on TV yesterday say that we have at least four genders. I appreciate your words in this poem. Good quatern, with a great repeating line. Blessings. Carol

Comment from DeboraDyess
A six star rating for your beautiful poem AND for the message. We do tend to want to play god, don't we. And the new woke movement... They're all about free speech as long as YOUR speech is what THEY want to hear. It's kind of how the Nazis had free speech. You are correct, my friend - quite disturbing.
The poem works so well. The falling line and rhymes are prefect. I enjoyed reading it.
Blessings,
Deb
