Belshazzar Sestet

Belshazzar had a feast before seeing the writing on the wall, Quickly,falling,from the greatest to the least, for dead-men,don't walk tall- When lives are on God's scale Only the just,live to tell the tale. This sestet inspired by Daniel 5 | Year Posted 2010

We…really…don’t want to see…the writing on the wall, the bodyless hand, grim fate. We’d rather see God face to face!

Sad that when some people get in power and then power over takes the person and they no longer respect God. I enjoyed reading your work. Thanks for the visit to my page. You mentioned the scripture to me and reminded me again about it. Sara
