WOE
By: TOM SMIKOSKI ( Originally written as a letter to the editor in 1996)


I often wonder what Old Testament Prophets would write if they were alive today in theUnited States. Perhaps it would read something like this:

Woe. Woe unto thee oh great and powerful nation of the West. I blessed you with founding fathers full of Faith and Morals, and you twist and distort their words so that in their name you can sin freely.

Woe. Woe unto thee oh great and powerful nation of the West. I blessed you and made you prosper and you have turned your eyes away from me and onto the riches I gave you, making these riches your god.

Woe. Woe unto thee oh great and powerful nation of the West. I blessed you with brilliant minds so you could educate your children, and you removed my word and my very name from your schools.

Woe. Woe unto thee oh great and powerful nation of the West. I blessed you with men of science and you turned from my word and made science your creator.

Woe. Woe unto thee oh great and powerful nation of the West. I blessed you with brilliant men of medicine. Yet some believe that they, not me, have the right to determine when and where a person should die.

Woe. Woe unto thee oh great and powerful nation of the West. I blessed you with great freedom and you have used this freedom to yank my unborn children from the very wombs of their mothers.

Woe. Woe unto thee oh great and powerful nation of the West. I blessed you and created you both male and female so that united you may bare fruit according to my will. Yet against my will have your people bonded as male with male and female with female.

Woe. Woe unto thee oh great and powerful nation of the West. I blessed you, protected you, and guarded your shores from your enemies, yet you have turned against me. You no longer know me, nor my word.

Repent. Repent Oh great and powerful nation of the West. Your sins are far more grievous than those of Sodom and Gomorrah. My patience is wearing thin.

Repent. Repent Oh great and powerful nation of the West. Your sins are far more grievous than those that ravaged the Earth at the time of Noah. My patience is wearing thin.

Repent. Repent Oh great and powerful nation of the West. For My sword is mightier than the weapons you create.

Pray. Pray Oh great and powerful nation of the West. Pray that my word may once again pour forth from the mouths of men.

Pray. Pray Oh great and powerful nation of the West. Pray that my word may once again blossom in the hearts of your people.

Pray. Pray Oh great and powerful nation of the West. Pray that the blood shed by my dearly beloved Son was not shed in vain.

Pray. Pray Oh great and powerful nation of the West. That by the blood of my Son, your people shall be saved and returned to me.

My Blessings Oh great and powerful nation of the West are many. They are yours for the asking. Repent and pray, Oh great and powerful nation of the West, so that I may be merciful and pour forth these blessings upon you.
