Valley of Decision

Valley of Decision

A Poem by PoetryofProvidence

Prophesy oh Son of Man

whose garments drenched in blood

make the people understand

they are a brotherhood

 

I freely gave the land to you

and sent the gentle rain

you stole it from your brother

and struck him down like Cain

 

You have murdered your own children

raped and beaten your own wife

poisoned land and planet

but expect a verdict of life

 

I called the earth to witness

I have called unto the sea

they shall expose the bodies in them

and reveal your treachery

 

They shall give their testimony

and count the blood you've shed

a chalice filled with violence

and with torture you've made dead

 

You are slow to listen

you have dulled your heart

when calamity calls upon you

recognize it won't depart

 

I bring your own thoughts upon you

and what you've hidden in your mind

you've disguised your life as virtue

and your works as done in kind

 

Earths kings have sat in council

there is  collusion in their vote

the priests have sat among them

of their plans I've taken note

 

I am pouring out my judgement

and the chariots of my King

he is dispensing in truth justice

with my decisions earth will ring

 

Repent you of her actions

repent you of her ways

lay aside all of her deeds

with bloodshed she's filled her days

 

Oh earth oh earth to you I call

do you think your actions hardly anything at all

you have plundered your brother delighted in his fall

turn around change your ways to you I call

 

Take care of your children take care of your wife

take care of oppressed ones take care of life

take care for justice take care of your earth

this is your family the dwelling of your birth

 

sources Isaiah , Jeremiah , Ezekial

Daniel ,  Apocalypse
