“Londoners” by Oswald Chambers (written April 4, 1894 at age: 20)
Busy, driving, rushing Londoners,
Driven, palefaced, wiry blunderers,
Striving ever,
Praying never,
Busy, driving, rushing Londoners.
Thoughtless, flippant, godless Londoners,
Tricky, gasping, cruel plunderers,
“Doing” ever,
“Done by” never,
Thoughtless, flippant, godless Londoners.
Tired out, weary, haggard Londoners,
Beer-sopped, feeble, worn-out conjurers,
Struggling ever,
Resting never,
Tired out, weary, haggard Londoners.
Silent, lifeless, buried Londoners,
Death and Time have proved true sunderers,
Gone for ever,
Remembered never,
Silent, lifeless, buried Londoners.
