Woe unto those that do not use their clout
Woe to all those that do not use their clout
And stand up for brave hard-tried Israel,
But duck, duck, duck, instead of shouting loud,
“Gainst her aggressors,-minions of hell.
Oh you that zealously cite Holy Writ:
Read: “Comfort Ye My People* says the Lord*
Refuse to comfort it in dire need,
Is disobeying, scorning His clear word.
A preaching is much easier,- isn’t’ it?
For the loquacious whether dull or bright,
That preached a lot indeed, but ran and hid,
When He was crowned with thorns and crucified.
“Go! comfort Ye My People”! says the Lord,
Stand up for those that are of it in need
But churches threw His clear word overboard,
And disregarding it proclaim their creed.
Up to the brim she drank the bitter cup,
And battled foes that hide behind small kids
As human shields, and woman take the rap,
Or old civilians, Joey, be or Fritz.
Complacency – our planes are flying still,
No need to be upset so and afraid,
We are still save, averted was the kill,
T’ is Zion’s Daughter who the high prize paid.
Persistent and so patient is the foe,
So very patient,- he will wait for years,
To yet increase our terror and our woe,
But the complacent man has wax-clogged years.
Meanwhile remember that neutrality
Unpalatable and distasteful is,
To Him that oversees our destiny,
And rules that justice has to go with peace.
Hear Ye! – the Lord does say ;“I will spit out
What's neither hot nor cold, - Neutrality-
Tepidity I'll surely scorn and flout-
Intolerable is its taste to me".

I think this is very profound and true
