Cause
Power, riches, influence
lured them away
prophets, priests chose
license over commitment.
Silenced the truth
with platitudes
sugarcoated consequences
watered down principles.
Righteous died
their sin the cause
responsible actions
turned to soul sacrifice
now scattered
blind wanderers
no honor to defiled
blood-stained deeds.
Psalm 37:34: "Wait for the Lord, and keep to His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on the destruction of the wicked."
