Bearers Their Names Pressurize

Now, many things we accept, 
Nearly each conveyed precept:
Bearers their names pressurize
And life's success summarize:
Sure serpent' who is Linda;
Access to God could hinder
"Sauls" to burn like a cinder
"Dinah's" denied Umbrella
"Tamars" Destined Cinderella
You answer to David 'King'
You choose Jonathan 'you cling'
Nobody risks the name Job,
For Satan might come to rob
And you don't bear Jezebel
For against God you'd rebel...

Biblical names are written in stone along with their appointed stories. Names also have many meanings, Eve...mother of life ...Eve of destruction...German Linda is serpent...Spanish Linda is beautiful...even God has a name. I enjoyed your write, Chinedum Ekwobi! Harmony and peace ~I Am Anaya

Interesting poem Chinedum. Names can be important in defining personalities. I like your last two lines. :) Linda
