At His Exit From Endor, Saul Vows To Stop The Steal
[after 1 Samuel, especially chapter 31]
That malcontent of Endor dared to take
me for a fool, by raising up a fake
Saul to tell me that my elected crown
shall be given to David (that upstart
string-plucker and boyfriend to Jonathan,
my eldest, bravest, and most loyal son).
At Mizpah, by a landslide, I came in
to kingship, to make our land great again.
And now God, Himself, wants to cast me down?
That seems, to me, like some subversives' ruse
(to which they think I should, quietly, yield)
a plot against me, hatched in some left field
by foreigners, or crooks that have been hired
to perpetrate lies, in whole or in part
as if official or prophetic news.
But I do not believe my people feel
such discontent, rage, and hostility
toward my reign---unique in our history.
My people will help me to stop this steal
with flames of power that say, You are fired.
Starward
