Why Do Events In The Country Change To Cryptic Darkness Poem by Gert Strydom

Why do events in the country change
to cryptic darkness and savagery
that unfolds around other people
and do fall on people without distinction?

While I do wait on Your bright light
that has to come as salvation,
I am astounded by the decay
that day after day

are apparent everywhere in murders,
marauding expeditions, rape and the slaughter
of people that do not deserve it
and still I am waiting

on the acts of the omnipotent Lord God that I do serve
and I wonder why am I now becoming aware of this evil?
