Daniel chapter 4, Hebrews 13:2

"Same ol', same ol'!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"He pits the parties
To perfect His will
In His heavens,
And on His Earth!"

"I trust Him to do the right thing 
More than I trust my own judgment."

"Same ol', same ol'!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"Their moral high-rank 
Is only a Mirage,
Tricking a thirsty soul
That its way is safe!"

"I trust Him to guide my footsteps
More than I trust my own eyesight."

"Same ol', same ol'!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"His powerful help- 
Irrelevant crutches
In their blind pursuit
Of deceitful wages!"

"I trust Him to keep on winning
More than I trust my own profit."

"Same ol', same ol'!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"The Savior loves you-
But there's no such thing
As acceptable sin,
Because it ruins!"

"I will trust Him and His choices
More than I trust my own reason."

"He comes, He comes!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"With Heaven's Armies
And all His holy ones
To keep His promises
For those who trust Him!"

"I trust Him to keep His Word
More than I trust the Meritocracy."
