the sons of men will rather die
in the flattery smoke of lies
than live in peace and solitude
in the sincere light of truth.
the sons of men will rather save
a quiet thief from death
than stop themselves from
stoning he that doth question their deeds.
the sons of men will rather have
their way with a coward king
than be compelled to live
the rules of a valiant lord.
the sons of men will rather have
a blow from he that hates
but the warning words
of a loving friend
their soul doth so despise.
the sons of men would run to death
if the course will run on smooth
but off-away they go from life
if there be any challenge.
the sons of men will choose a place
as hot and dark as hell
if they will get a blissful life
upon a woeful earth.
the sons of men will rather have the devil
in place of God
the love and life that Jesus gives
does matter less to them
Oh! how so much they love to live
at will and so be lost.
All of creation is waiting for the sons of God to be revealed..Restoration of all things. Good write. Well done; D
