The Owner of the Farm

Hmm, behold the bold face of 
the future
of wise words, sacred, and sure;
From the terrific throne of a 
perfect prophet
sent through the scary scrolls of 
a plain poet.

In the holy books flows these 
revelations;
weird words and wise warnings 
for all nations.
He that has an ear let him hear 
and not fear
what the spirit is saying… from 
far and near.

The ***** cat’s absence is not 
just abstinence,
O reckless rats, cruise not with… 
confidence.
When a lion sneaks and stalks in 
the fiery forest
He’s never afraid of the prey he 
seeks to arrest…

if the elder is present at the 
market square,
an infant’s head should not 
bend... without care.
This lamp on fire-- shinning, 
roaring and burning…
is the Lord’s light watching, 
waiting and warning.

The mighty moth boasting to 
quench this light,
will only kill itself before it 
takes… flight.
It’s only a wise cripple with a 
heart of gold,
that will eventually escape the 
war foretold.

The underestimation of the 
Immortal by mortals
leads to consequences that are 
fierce and fatal.
Behold! The owner of the field is 
coming soon,
be prepared for Him morning, 
night and noon.
