We Are Running Out of Time

poem by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Apr 12, 2026

People may get tired of hearing all of the time,
That we are rapidly running out of time.
This world is not sustainable nor is it
Maintainable to keep up with the facade
Of everything being perfectly normal.

Just stop and take a look around at the
World there is today--many of us are
Awaiting of the return of Jesus Christ
Without not much further delay.
Could He return tomorrow or today?

Warfare and poverty can only go so far,
When Jesus comes back for us and we
Travel far beyond the sun, the moon and
The stars. People shall ne'er colonize
The Stars not even the planet Mars.

We are living inside a world filled with both
Deception and Delusion and add AI and
Our world is filled with AI intrusion and
Also it's dominance and illusions.  A
True "Ball of Confusion!"

We can make our own deductions about greed,
graft and money making the whole world go
round and round.  Worshiping at their alters,
No counting how many people become paupers!
Widows or Fatherless or Orphans! 

For no matter how hard we seem to be able to pray,
When it comes to our final countdown--only God
Will accurately count the final countdowns on His
Own doomsday clock! Some people say that we have
Only 90 seconds remaining before we are "Outta Time!"

How can we escape seven years of pure hell being 
Unleashed, all too soon upon our "Late Great
Planet Earth?' Without Jesus Christ's free offer
Of everlasting life! We can ne'er have eternal life.
Our good deeds can n'er gain us access into heaven!

Without the shedding of Christ's blood atonement
For all of our sins--we would surely be perishing
In them.  For He was crucified, died and rose
Again on the third day. And we don't have all of
The time in the world to repent of our sins!

Which one of us can even grantee that we shall wake
Up tomorrow morning? When the angel of death can 
Strike us without any advanced warning! Where will be
Spending all of eternity?  It depends upon us--either in
The presence of Jesus--or in the lake of fire with Satan!

It was not created for humanity but if we don't accept His
Atoning blood sacrifice in our lives--we will have to bare
Them for all of eternity! Don't think we have all of the time 
In the world to get right with  Jesus Christ.  Behold the day 
Of our salvation is today! Heaven's door won't be opened long!
 
Your Watch woman on the wall,

Wishful thinking

poem by Roxanne Dubarry

Why waste the time of day in wishful thinking? Why spin cobwebs in the air? Why wish upon a star, when no one hears? Many years I have spent in wishful thinking. Day dreaming most of my life away. Wasting away the years, Ign... Read more
