Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

You'Re Invited

Like the man with his gourde in sitting there off to the side
Looking down upon the whole horde with a disdainful pride
In so waiting for such a sight to suddenly come and appear
Doubting they'll see the Light, doubting they will ever hear

Poor Jonah up there on that hill waiting for God to destroy
Never really having the will to share with others God's Joy 
So he would sit there and wait as the sun beat on his head
But he didn't know Nineveh's fate as they repented instead

Such a gloom filled heart had he that he missed the point
What Jonah never came to see is that only God can anoint
But Nineveh didn't last eternally just two generations or so
For it was their weak morality their children came to know

So the point in being is to go tell everyone of His Kingdom
Help others in so seeing even if you have no luck with some
Don't sit up there on a hill looking down upon what you see
I believe it is God's Will to give everyone a chance to be free


Jonah Chapter 4:1-11

Diane Christian July 14, 2015 at 3:50 AM Amen beautiful write. I wrote a poem a chance I read it out loud and put it on you tube. With some other poems and u lyric songs. God is reaching people through our poetry. I never expected much but I've had 326 views on my you tube channel so God is at work in us. God bless you Vincent Flannery July 14, 2015 at 2:45 PM That's really cool. A little bashful but have been experimenting with the video. And when the poet reads it, it is so much better. Great job! I think those views might skyrocket!
