An Hard Cushion
2-16-16

Loose change you could spend there
Is nothing to defend
Anticipation is a hard cushion
Even their memory has perished
Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion!
Testifying straight to my face
Out of the cage we free our lion
To not frame their doings
O, enemy destructions are finished
O, friend rebuildings have begun
I pray that I'll be able to stay put
In a stolen boat all we need is the weighing
And the balancing of scales
Do not let man prevail
And have compassion on the speed of snails
For the look, the righteous bait their hook....





O, What A Plea
2-16-16

Flee as a bird to your mountain
O, see the absurd
Come thirst for your fountain
As to terrify and oppress
No longer to ask the why
As one to simply confess
When vileness is condoned
A breakthrough is my only option
I see my maker coming
We willingly walk after the commandment
Come let us return
A breakthrough is my only choice in charity
It doesn't need to be a rarity
Oppressed and broken in judgment
Taking refuge in God
Or wherever he might be to you and I
Selah
Secretly
In darkness
O, what a plea....






On Hosea 5:9
2-16-16

The heatwave is calling my name
Come summertime
A brother says I'd be a happier man
If I'd cease to plan so far ahead
As when Ephraim sees his sickness
God knows what is best for us
His eyelids test the sons of men
How long will you forget me forever
How long will you hide your face from me
Give me the wisdom to know what not to say
And ears to swiftly hearken
The wicked prowl on every side
One hour from now
Who hath said with our tongue
We will prevail
I be unto them as a moth
All I can take from these skies
Will be sore come the testing of delay
And a portrait of the godly
Ephraim be desolate in the day of rebuke....
