"Dear children! In a special way I call you all to prayfor my intentions so that, through your prayers, you maystop Satan's plan over this world, which is further from Godevery day, and which puts itself in the place of God and isdestroying everything that is beautiful and good in the soulsof each of you. Therefore, little children, arm yourselveswith prayer and fasting so that you may be conscious of howmuch God loves you and may carry out God's will. Thank youfor having responded to my call."-Our Lady of Medjugorje's Message, October 25, 2008
This quoted part of Chris Michael Johnson's poem "Responding-Our Lady's Medjugorje Message, October 25, 2008" is the central theme of his collection of poems written in "A Bit of Madness."
Johnson had, for a time, battled his own demons and mental illness until his spiritual reawakening and rekindled love and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ whose Second Coming he awaits in the last days of this world. The verses and lines of his poems spoke of his personal experiences and observations of a world gone wayward, influenced by Satan, continually turning away from God's love.
