OPEN INVITATION

I was with you, in the beginning Being present for delivery of WORD Your growth was astounding And commitment unto death, pure But then, government entered the gate And offered concessions for compliance I watched your back bend I entered in, you slithered, away I surrounded you, as Deception grew A dragon, drenched in sacrificial blood Destructive fire rolled out of your mouth Consuming innocence with zeal Authenticity gone, devoted to kill Compassion at every gathering Conform or be deformed by the battering ram Your war cry...and a blasting horn Of pie in the sky May you be held accountable for claiming WORD While disdaining TRUTH Written by Trudy Schrader on 05-22-2024
