My Plague

It is burning beneath my cloth It has the ability to plunge down the the isle of Patmos For all my life I have seen no man coming out to discuss it. This plague is destructive, abusive, and damaging to my spirit, soul and body There is no cure only this biblical inscription “confesses your fault one to another and pray one to another that ye may be healed” I long to delete it from my outer man. O how I longed! Even the Syrian purest water was unable to tear it down The liar and the accuser of the brethren use this plague to despise my faith For many a time has I shone it, but to no avail Therefore remember “one another” slogan This my plague killed Onan This plague can kill you so beware.
