Holy Bible Laments
I have a case to register with Chief Judge
the one who wrote me and asked me to teach
this hard-nut generation of humans
They hear but not understand, look but not see
They come to me for wisdom and insight
I teach them today but tomorrow
they are as raw as they came yesterday
Revelation, intuition, reason are repelled
I, the Holy Bible lament in tears often
They come to me for knowledge
of the One who created the world
I reveal the secrets today
but tomorrow they are walking Judas Iscariot
bent towards rebellion and destruction
I teach them the Ten Commandments
how to apply them in daily life but
sooner than later all is gone
they are sorcerers and are friends of sin
They come to me looking for heaven’s gate
I sit them down and show them the way
but tomorrow I see them along the wide path to fire
They come to me, read me and quote me
While in the podium of power they swear- me in hand
most pick names from my belly and write them on backs
Yet out in the field of power all is dust
They cheat, kill and are selfishly un-Godly!
Children of God, how stubborn your hearts are!
The holy words of wisdom, the fear of God
are vanishing like snow in tropical heat
Christ on the cross is feeling more pain
Each sin you commit you add one more nail
I have a case to register with the Chief Judge
