The Godly Man Ceaseth

hulsey Aug 28, 2007

I was rummaging through some papers and came across an old poem that I never finished. I thought I would share what I had written. Maybe one day I'll finish it. Maybe I'll be able to give it a better ending.

Discernment's eyes are closed
The prophet's lips are sealed
While wolves roam around in sheep's clothes
and the godly man is killed.

The earth staggers like a drunkard
The "found" have lost their way
Here is the day for the man,
~~[b]~~but where is the man for the day?[/b]

~~[i]~~Psalm 12:1 Help LORD, for the godly man ceaseth, for the faithful fail from among the children of men.[/i]

Blessings,
Jeremy Hulsey

I like it, and where is the man for today?
you could end your poem with what God is looking for in a man to be the man for today!!!!
Good job. very prophetic and insiteful for today.

Great lines Jeremy...! I like it too.

I hope it's ok to put in my two pence on the ending...? (That's rhetorical... ;-) )

Discernment's eyes are closed
The prophet's lips are sealed
While wolves roam around in sheep's clothes
and the godly man is killed.
The earth staggers like a drunkard
The "found" have lost their way
[Here is the day for the man,
but where is the man for the day?]

Arise in Christ, O man of God,
Armoured in light for our day!

Romans 13:12
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
