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
