2) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Traffic signs of many things, telling of the deed,
That they must do for safety's sake, to avoid a crash.
Injured, they could bleed to death, from the widespread gash.
3) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Now most just have pictures, as most don't know how to read.
And, stubbornly most people there, choose these to ignore.
Interference on their life; these, they do deplore.
4) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
''Watch For Trains'', or ''Low Clearance''; ''Hand Rails You Need''.
''Stop'', ''No Smoking'', ''Don't Drive Drunk'', ''Buckle Up'', and more.
''Contents May Be Hot'', ''No Swimming - You Must Stay On Shore''.
5) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Always in a hurry there, that is their life and creed.
But for hours, these will stand, on golf course, patiently.
The logic of this contrast, is difficult to see.
6) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
All the signs of danger there, folks don't feel the need;
If they ignore the warning signs, it's a time to dread.
Very quickly, they can be, in over their head.
7) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
''Evacuate'', ''Shelter In Place'', warnings, you must heed.
These warnings communicated, there for your own good.
You will likely die, if you, don't do what you should.
8) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Conditions worsen rapidly, like running of a steed.
Volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, are hard to forecast.
When realizing these occurred, most folks are aghast.
9) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Like when weather conditions, on them, takes a bead.
Tornadoes, hail, flooding, wind, or the snow and ice.
Extreme heat and cold as well, outdoors not so nice.
10) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Directions on items there, in protection's creed.
Flammables and chemicals, hazards all around.
Being careless will put you, six feet underground.
11) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Even with nutrition there, that you drink or feed.
Or with certain vices there, complications start.
Ultimately, they will stop, the beating of your heart.
12) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
When injured, they can quickly, hemorrhage and bleed.
If they don't call 911, and for help, there cry.
Unless First Aid summoned quick, they will quickly die.
13) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Most do not want to be told, about their evil greed.
Most are always wanting more, and never satisfied.
They want to there, gratify, their ego and pride.
14) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Following advice and rules, most see little need.
Living only for themselves, selfish in every way.
To heck with everyone else, who ruins their day.
15) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Examples of safety there, they won't take the lead.
''I don't have time for these constraints, in my daily life''.
They disregard the warnings there; now they feel strife.
16) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
The pace of ignoring these, like the growing weed.
Most feel they're invincible, no harm to them, will come.
But, harm comes unexpectedly; now they feel so dumb.
17) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Even though ''true love does wait'' before you choose to breed.
Most will be promiscuous, often fornicate.
Once you get an STD, recovery too late.
18) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Preparing for eternity, most ignore that need.
It's appointed all to die, then judgment does await.
Once you're in eternity, belief on Christ, too late.
19) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Mankind wicked to the core, in each and every deed.
All have sinned, and fallen short, of God's Glory, there.
If they don't repent of sin, Judgment won't be spared.
20) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
They believe the Devil's lie, ''Christ, you do not need''.
Hell or Heaven, only two, places after death.
God's Pardon offer does expire, upon your last breath.
21) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Heaven is not owed to you, and it's not guaranteed.
Your good works, church membership, means nothing to The Lord.
For His Word is sharper than any two edged sword.
22) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Your righteousness as filthy rags, as in menstrual bleed.
God's Standard is Perfection there, none on Earth, can pay.
Except for Christ, The King Of Kings, The Truth, The Life, The Way.
23) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
You'd have to live a sinless life, in motive, word, and deed.
As well as in all of your thoughts, open or concealed.
On Judgment Day, all that you've done, it will be revealed.
24) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
When you stand before The Lord, none for you, will plead.
For God grades upon The Cross, and not upon The Curve.
If you die without The Lord, damnation, you deserve.
25) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Your life can end without warning, and with lightning speed.
Tomorrow promised to no one, death comes at any time.
Choosing to spurn God's Love Gift, it's the eternal crime.
26) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Ignoring what God's Word declares, on your sin and greed.
For it's God's Creation there, and it is His Rules.
Those who cry ''There Is No God!'', The Lord calls them ''Fools''.
27) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
On The Cross Of Calvary, Christ did suffer, bleed.
For without shedding of Blood, no cleansing of one's sin.
Victorious on The Third Day, when Christ did rise again.
28) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
For God looked beyond our faults, and He saw our need.
Before foundation of the world, Redemption's Plan In Place.
Heaven for those, who are saved, by faith, and God's Grace.
29) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Jesus Christ, Savior and Lord; He's what all souls need.
Yet, God is a Gentleman, He'll let folks go their way.
At your death, it's Christ, or you; your sin debt, to pay.
30) The warnings are all around, but most take little heed.
Repentance, and child like faith, as with a mustard seed.
''Believe on Christ, whom God did send''; it's what He requires.
The only thing to save your soul, from The Lake Of Fire.
