Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

You Shall Know

Read Ezekiel; you will see
better than any poetry
that trickles down from man's clipboard
"You shall know that I am the Lord ."

Your Master’s righteous cloak is not
a bold retreat from evil’s plot.
In peaceful times and in discord,
You shall know that I am the Lord.

These three, Noah, Daniel, and Job,
God, deemed righteousness as their robe.
Thru famine, wild beast, plague, and sword,
You shall know that I am the Lord.

The last two stanzas here are from a poem, Robes of Righteousness which has not been entered in a contest as yet.
