Poetry

Listen O Heaven,
Pay attention O earth;
Hear what God has given,
Giving us a new birth.

He raised us but rebelled,
And have gone against Him;
Because Satan had dwelled,
That had made us be grim.

The oxen and cattle,
Recognize the owner;
The horse lets the saddle,
To wear for the owner.

But we recognize not,
Since we not understand;
What the Lord having sought,
Throughout of each command.

Sinful nations are dead,
Because of evil deeds;
Professing all instead,
For their immoral needs.

We abandoned the Lord,
Rejects the Holy One;
Gone astray and ignored,
All that the Lord has done.

So why do you insist,
Continue to rebel;
Letting strife to persist,
For a pathway to hell.

Your head has a large wound,
And your body is weak;
You feel being marooned,
Through the abyss you seek.

From the soles of your feet,
To the hairs on your head;
Injuries cause defeat,
Offended what is said.

Your open wounds and cuts,
Have become infected;
That have exposed your guts,
Are really self-inflicted.

Of what is important,
On what you sacrifice;
Stop being defiant,
Influence not entice.
