Did He Know

A world that lost its way. Where violence raised its head, People were held captive. Parting of water led the way. Times came and went. Visions of his coming spread. Why did he have to? We are doing well on our own. Nations are failing. The threat of terrorism. Immigrants left wandering. Regimes with itchy fingers. Our worst fears realized. Peoples from all walks searching, So many captive to a lie. For sure, a world without hope. Thousands of years ago, Hope found us. In the midst of turmoil. A world out of control. The glory left behind. For such a world as this. Betrayed by a simple kiss. Did he know?
