Esau Poems - Poems about Esau

Genesis 29

over 2 years have past now.
i serve my time everyday,
not knowing my offence. 

i work everyday to meet your needs.
how long lord, how long….
my beautiful Rachel.

i am not Jacob in this story,
i stand the place of Esau,
what was mine taken by Jacob.
still i will suffer for Rachel,
for the love that once burned hot in winter.

Poker

All cards are on the table
Esau holds kings and queens
His secular greatness is swift
Many chiefs reign in Edom

Jacob draws but two's and three's
His family lags behind in Egypt
Becoming slaves to Pharaoh
Is God playing the losing hand?

Small beginnings deceive
Spirtual greatness comes later
Demanding patience and faith
Until His Royal Flush appears

Jesus holds the Key of David
He is worthy

An Esau

An Esau lifts the carnal
And mocks the spiritual
Though he possessed the birthright
He pursued the physical

An Esau values his ways
"Satisfy the appetite"
Despise God's promised future
A dangerous stew to bite

An Esau rejects God's ways
His birthright he sold for stew
The cunning hunter is snared
A misstep he can't undo
  
An Esau forfeits blessing
God's promise deemed a dud
Prey to

Kiss of Wisdom Blocked By God

I could prove a point thought misbegotten,
For long years packaged as Flatly Rotten,
I myself judged a spiritual loser;
Indeed, an Abhorrent option chooser!

But why, God had said so: "Esau I hate."
So, all his damned mistakes had flowed from Fate
"What's my birthright to me now that I'm dead?"
One, who just in the morning, had not fed!

"Right, agreed,

Jehovah El Roi

I
I am good seed, by Grace 
Seed of Abraham
The new testament says
One seed, many fruit in the nations (ethnoi)
But is my fruit good
By worldly terms, Yes
By biblical standards, No
 - And does it hurt

Sometines, for no reason, I awake
Sleepless ... Until my wife awakes, too -
Pulls me closer
Then tells me later:
I listen to your breathing

Esau

When nothing true you world torment
And brother unlike brother contend
To debase your hunger, and no relent
To snatch at grace when all offend
You met him trembling in his wide fear
Submitting all he thought you wanted
And gave him hugs, kisses, and your tear
Who did the birth priesthood supplanted
So let me be constant when met again
With barren thy
