Many do go
Yet few are sent
The Word of the Lord
Not sent with them
Messengers embraced
With fleshly intent
Jezebels flock
Mere prophets of men

Intellect strong
And words that will grab
Trained in our schools
Professionally wrapped
No more the Peters
And sons of Zebedee
But men of acclaim
Allure now the sheep.

Famine has come
Yet dryness not seen
Words from the Lord
Not heard and not gleaned
Many a road
O’ seemeth now right
But death it awaits
A soon shocking site.

Faith it is now
In understanding and minds
Power no longer
Of the Spirit giving life
Smarter we are now
And doctrates are signed
Yet changed not are souls
And changed not are lives.
