The Devouring of Lesser Lovers
Our God's passion for us
burns like a consuming fire
He shares our hearts with no other
for the word jealous
is His middle name
He wants to be our ultimate desire
in this world
this life and the one to come
He wants all parts of us to
be consumed by His omnipotent energy
not only the tiny portions
like the appetizers on a menu
He will prepare His consuming fire
into a supernatural sword
absent of peace
setting out like a knight
clothed in His shining armour
to devour the shrines and altars
we have constructed
for our lesser lovers
who have promised us a lifetime
of health wealth and prosperity
but instead they consumed us
with nothing but destruction
confusion and division to our souls
He refuses to relinquish
His burning passion for us
with any other creature
dead or alive
on the land
or beneath the ocean's depths
He wants to be our first
last and only knight in shining armour
