Baal
Baal
Written by Catherine Reinke
Ancient sources tell us of one old God
forbidden from all others,
Yahweh declared he, from the sun,
named him Baal. His ceremony enticement
many could not resist,
believe one God only’ certain may this one.
Each morning clockwork He would arise
feeding nourishment they and plants alive.
Not only life give’th He in sun’s magnificent glory
how few could understand
why Yahweh to war went with Baal.
Fought in heavens sky for power supreme complete
resistance forces fought immense
until victory found when Yahweh produced his demon fail.
Destruction of our earth, when Yahweh flood waters sent.
Save select few , Noah and they
in his arch rescue set omnipotent God sail.
Declared… drown the followers of the sun!
Yet ,rise each morning Baal still won.
Today from the watery grave they have risen
those who worship all that Baal The Sun has given.
Plead we now, no more destruct us for such love
condemned to wait return of the arch homeless dove .
Mend your rivalry Yahweh with Baal, we pray
that in service both, in gratitude and love we may.
