OPEN INVITATION

I was with you, in the beginning
Being present for delivery of WORD
Your growth was astounding
And commitment unto death, pure
But then, government entered the gate
And offered concessions for compliance
I watched your back bend
I entered in, you slithered, away
I surrounded you, as Deception grew
A dragon, drenched in sacrificial blood
Destructive fire rolled out of your mouth
Consuming innocence with zeal
Authenticity gone, devoted to kill
Compassion at every gathering
Conform or be deformed by the battering ram
Your war cry...and a blasting horn
Of pie in the sky

May you be held accountable for claiming WORD
While disdaining TRUTH
