Pantoum For the Promiscuous
We're not supposed to act like sheep
just because He is The Shepherd.
He is much more inclined to weep
when we refuse to heed His Word.
Just because He is The Shepherd,
our blind-born sins torment Him so.
When we refuse to heed His Word
we defile more than we can know.
Our blind-born sins torment Him so
as our freewill we waste away.
We defile more than we can know
when with sly Lust we choose to lay.
As our freewill we waste away -
just because we may feel “left out”:
when with sly Lust we choose to lay;
oft sleeping thoughtlessly about.
Just because we may feel left out,
we ignore our blessed patient guide:
oft sleeping thoughtlessly about,
from honest conscience seek to hide.
We ignore our blessed patient guide,
while truest Love looks helpless on.
From honest conscience we seek to hide,
fearing the chance of "bliss" is gone.
While truest Love looks helpless on,
He is more inclined to weep:
fearing the chance of bliss is gone.
We're not supposed to act like sheep.
