+ 27.225 MHz: Poem After Romans 12:19

The Lord said, Vengeance is mine.

The Lord has promised, I will repay.

Therefore, no poem of mine---

not even a single line---

should attempt to add to the penalty

of the foe's obstinate perfidy.

The Scripture says, Give place to wrath.

The brethren's supernatural accuser

has appointed a chief deputy

who is an inveterate abuser

of words, though lacking skill and artistry.

He follows his supervisor's path:

not to me is the calling

to add to his penalty,

which will catch up to him without stalling.
But for his condemnation, none are forbidden to pray.
