Where Fear of God Has Ceased...

We vow that we are smarter now than they were ‘way back when’

Those terrible mistakes they made we will not make again

But then the way it always was, is; history repeats

Because good versus evil never offers easy streets

And as long as the earth remains people will be at odds

And many will be fooled by what Popular Voice applauds

And many, hoping things will not turn out the way they fear

Put faith in something they can see rather than trust/revere

And like a dog returns to its vomit, after the feast

So fools return to folly where the fear of God has ceased

 Proverbs 26:11
As a dog returns to its vomit, 

so a fool repeats his folly.
