How Far Fallen

.
How far fallen must a people be
Whom taken, God has their breath,
Whom buried, God has not permitted,
Whom scavenged, God has left for the
     beasts of the wild,
Who wonder still,
     "What have we done?"

How far fallen must a people be
Whom for, God says do not mourn
Whom from, God has taken His peace
Whom of this place, God will cause
     to cease to be,
Who ask still,
     "What is our sin?"

How far fallen must a people be
To know enough such a God lives,
But do not in turn live for Him?

How far fallen must a people be?
 

Jeremiah 16
