THE HORSEMEN COMETH

OR ARE THEY ALREADY HERE

THE BEGINNING THAT HAS ALREADY BEGUN

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the Horsemen are here now.

Or have they always been here,

just waiting for humanity to descend into so much despair

that their time has come to intervene and wreak havoc.

Are we dooming ourselves by turning on each other and

being mean spirited

Showering hate and disgust at the innocent

who are just trying to live day by day

just by being a living breathing being.

MEAN SPIRITEDNESS

Do we realize that we are dooming ourselves to the hastening of

said apocalypse.

We devastate forests, we hunt poor unaware animals and now

we have turned against each other, at a time when we should be closer to

each other.

Although we have always been turning against each other

Human nature?. We have a choice.

We have free will.

Unless that choice is forcibly taken from us.

Have we lost our minds.

Are we allowing the demons of hell to rule our thoughts and actions.

The Horsemen are poised:

WHITE HORSE

The white horseman has a bow and a crown. It has come to conquer, are we becoming easy to conquer?

RED HORSE

The red horseman has a great sword and is given the power to take peace from the earth and that we should kill one another.

BLACK HORSEMAN

This rider has a pair of balances. He will bring FAMINE to the land, and will care more for the oil and wine than for human life.

THE PALE HORSE

"AND THE NAME OF HIM THAT SITTETH UPON HIM IS DEATH, AND

HELL FOLLOWS WITH HIM"

This rider is is given power to kill one fourth of the earth with sword, and hunger and death.

When this pale rider is unleashed, he will have the power of all the horsemen combined.

APOCALYPSE

Believe or not believe, it is a choice.

Are we our own horsemen,

Is it a METAPHOR for us hurting each other.

We can err on the side of caution.

Do as little harm as possible to others.

When the roll is called up yonder,

Try to be there.

Even if up yonder is right here on earth.

Hearts.
