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
