Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; The Young Prophet Habakkuk's Lament To God The Merciful

Oh, Merciful Lord, what have the haters and prudes done

to David's beautiful song about his Love for Jonathan?

They have redacted and altered it, to conceal and shun

the truth of his Love, and have ascribed it to his son---

a philosopher, not a poet was righteous King Solomon.

The prejudiced fops are militant exacerbators,

sowers of discord, and of unrest---accelerators.

Long-haired, shirtless and barefoot in my adolescence,

I shall not be dissuaded by their pride's foul countumescence.

I know the nature of my soul, and the full truth of

the way it needs, and was designed by You, to love.

I do not care if I have caused these selfish agitators

even the least bit of shrill, vociferous annoyance:

I have known love like David knew, and its buoyance.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To the best of my knowledge, no one else has proposed that the Song Of Solomon is actually a poem written by David, about his love for Jonathan, and redacted by prudish censors who altered some of its contents and ascribed it to a King who was not notably a Poet, and more a philosopher.
