CAESARS DUE

The chord wrapped around his neck As he was unwilling to pay the penalty of the law Why should he bow his knee to derelicts When he had preached against the sin of the fall She came in looking all cute and coy She's a girl, I'm a boy...a very little boy We'll play a game in secret and feel connected I'll tell her life will be destroyed if "IT" is unprotected What a wonderful WORD to deliver to the hopeless Spiritual leadership has the highest protection When the flesh ROARS at little girls and boys They cover "the fall" from open detection Denial is a weapon against ignorant liars Rushing around, stirring up blazing fires The institution must survive all attacks Lest our deceptive nation show what it lacks ......TRUTH..... For those who are called to walk in LOVE Caesar's due must be paid, first Drunkards, Harlots, Murderers and Thieves In prison, while predators give drink to those who thirst But the one who bore all the guilt and shame Hung on a Cross, innocent, without blame Humility will come, unbidden, without recourse The heart will submit or harden without remorse ....in the balance....
