Judge Not

‘Til heaven quakes and hell erupts Judge not the souls of man But be brave and do not disrupt The nature of a plan Put into place and made with hands Much, much superior From where I stand and far more grand, I am inferior. Without water thy soul does rust Water thy own garden Believe in thee, in thee—I trust. And receive thy pardon From thy fierce and fiery hell Of thy unwanted greed. If not, I am destined to dwell, Lost, with nowhere to feed.
