Highway robbery
Proverbs 30:5-6
5 Every word of God is purified;
he is like a shield for those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words,
lest he reprove you, and prove you to be a liar.
I know it is all worth it . . . I guess it’s the way of destiny
Somewhere in my consciousness all of this makes sense
Humanity and plant life searching in ways of prophecy
To figure out what’s coming next and hide in pretense
Professors, paupers, and commoners do travel in time together
Faceless, nameless hand in hand to escape depravity’s stench
Although most are well adjusted to the glamour of sinfulness
as artificial light hides it silently in the pew and on the bench
Phrases of today: “Everybody does it and take all you can get”
Everything is acceptable as in embrace together hugging the curse
God does not what He says, the bible has changed with time
The Lord understands the way I feel as I steal and rob His purse
Jan Wienen
