A crooked stick


Psalm 83:13 

13 O my God, make them like dead thistles,
like dead weeds blown away by the wind

 

Still, The Lord can give a straight blow with:


A crooked stick

 

Treason cried the culprit … a life build on lies

Blaming everybody for the condition of his “life”

An always robbing bandit in whom many confide

Yes he is too sorry as he ruins many a simple wife

 

Looking like a mystic … smiling as a coon

Rotten to the core … bringing many to their doom

He promises the hectic … a part of his cartoon

As he rises with their hopes in his own hot-air balloon

 

T.V. made him famous with the help of many demons

Sent me a dollar is the end of his repeating sermons

He is so callous as he pukes out all this venom

In his love for affluence he’ll try to buy Mount Hermon
