The Owner of the Farm

Hmm, behold the bold face of the future of wise words, sacred, and sure; From the terrific throne of a perfect prophet sent through the scary scrolls of a plain poet. In the holy books flows these revelations; weird words and wise warnings for all nations. He that has an ear let him hear and not fear what the spirit is saying… from far and near. The ***** cat’s absence is not just abstinence, O reckless rats, cruise not with… confidence. When a lion sneaks and stalks in the fiery forest He’s never afraid of the prey he seeks to arrest… if the elder is present at the market square, an infant’s head should not bend... without care. This lamp on fire-- shinning, roaring and burning… is the Lord’s light watching, waiting and warning. The mighty moth boasting to quench this light, will only kill itself before it takes… flight. It’s only a wise cripple with a heart of gold, that will eventually escape the war foretold. The underestimation of the Immortal by mortals leads to consequences that are fierce and fatal. Behold! The owner of the field is coming soon, be prepared for Him morning, night and noon.
