Oh, Degenerate Man Of Despair Poem by ArmourQuill Hunter

Leaving the Path of Right, was it worth the battles hell’s shame?
Imprisoned by your choices to dishonour the goodness of God’s name;
You sinned against the Light of the Word, grieving the Spirit of Truth.
Why couldn’t you wait and trust God for a mate? Boaz was given Ruth!

By hating His righteousness, you treated His blood as an unholy thing.
Insulting the Spirit of Grace, with the goodness that God wanted to bring.
Excluding yourself from His Promises, there remains nothing but threats;
What profit is there, to gain the whole world, when vexed by soulish pets?

With all the choices of your free-will, guilt doth easily toss blame.
Yet now, since the aftermath of judgment, you see clearly your shame.
The desires, pleasures and profits of this world, you held higher than God.
Thinking your world was your own island, that you’d never see His Rod.

Now every one of those things bit you; they gnaw like burning worms…
The Crucified Lamb died and lives so that you’d adhere to all His Words.
Denied repentance locked in an Iron Cage, oh Eternity, how will you cope?
What else could God do; when He gave His only Son as Redemption's rope?
