Sodomites

Sodomites Ezekiel 16:49 Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters were arrogant, over fed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. That day you seraphs passed the gate You heralded an uncreate You had been told the ten to seek For nine or less no mercy speak Instead of going to the square You yielded to four foreign there Who chose a fertile valley then From mountain streams to abject sin But if you had you would have found Five righteous ones there cruelly bound Penetrated, stretched out straight Their holy souls inviolate The victims of both young and old Abused by those whose hearts were cold To innocence and love once near Then limited to five born ***** Who refused to enjoin the rest In malice soaked with violence And disregard for those in need Their consciences did no more heed The cries of those whose lights went dim So at high noon came heaven’s brim Five bodies freed from spirits’ flight There left to burn with Sodomites
