"An Admonition."

If only thisnation had the 
spirit of ancient Nineveh
and would return in
humbleness and humility,
then her days might 
continue indefinitely

But instead she wears
her shame which should
be shunned as a crown, 
arrogantly

Jonah preached and they
repented and their hearts
returned to righteousness,
averting pending judgments

But foolish Sodom and
Gomorrah would not heed
instruction and faced fiery
retribution

Because her sins reached
unto the Heaven's and tipped
the balances to iniquity from
the security of Righteousness

And Abraham spoke to the 
Lord on her behalf desiring
that He would intervene if 
enough Righteousness was
among her inhabitants

But we know and this
historical story is an example
for the world to learn from

It seems as though the same
is happening here and a stern
message is becoming clear

If the scales were visible, which
way would we see them tilted

Towards Righteousness that
saves a city or Sin that is a 
reproach to any nation
