The Messenger

He was just a servant on a platter brought to you so you can eat Many are consumed by his bread of life so now that's all they can eat They broke bread with the lamb & then denied it was he A pack of wolves descended disguised as sheep then tore into his flesh with their teeth They knew his message would inspire many to go toward holy father They said his body was nailed to a cross so he wouldn't take it any further There's many missing pieces to the story but let him serve as an example He was sacrificed for what it is he believed & then was placed on a mantle Why is it the messenger pays the price when there shouldn't be any cost? Before you know it, it's you on a slab after you're taken off a cross Does a real prophet ever profit off of the work that they do for their God? Only in spirit, as the powers seek to send them to the Land of Nod Accept their message without judgement for they were sent for a purpose Receive what you need & carry on for these things are provided as a service
