Rebellion Hellions
The Sons of Korach helped fuel his rebellion
but were they unrepentant hellions
As the earth opened her mouth, they too their hearts
cried out to God for a brand-new start
Too late for that, but God gave them a piece of Eternity
Composers of twelve psalms, King David's paternity
Sages tell us, 'Repent one day before you die'
yet even one moment is worth a silent cry
