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.
