The pressure of a Man from a Torah less culture
Living but dead and surrounded by vultures
Striving for perfection to lead a leaderless race
Only to get sorrow, failure and spittle in your face
To marry in a marriage that could have been right
Only to be a victim in a victimless fight
To be adored in security, hailed a father of light
Then made to be hell on a low coming night
The seed of your loins you raised up from day one
The efforts of protection from a father to his sons
The struggle of health and mentality for your house
The Spirit of your breath seems nigh to running out
Your wife says she loves you, but only in joy
A Hebrew helpmate disguised to kill and destroy
A Priest indeed, teaching a Torah of Truth
Only to find that the spear has stabbed you
To wake one day from the slumber of your sleep
And never see your seeds that you harvest and reap
To be stripped of your rights like cattle on paper
And never see your children not even 3 years later
Accused of things in a court of law
A verdict being made by things they never saw
A priestess indeed, your number one fan
Now shows up against you in the arms of another man
The light that you once shined for the whole world to see
Was douched with the dust of open adultery
Everyone is looking and nodding their head
Saying the leader who lived but whose house is now dead
you try to be strong and keep going on
But soon wear out, because something is wrong
They took your sons, for you to never see again
And the lady of Sin, through the courtroom wins
And why is that, to the Justice system we cater
Who only sees the father as a chattel peace of paper
Who cares less for right and protects the wrong
And yet never cares for what is really going on
A family who laughs when they see a man hurt
And backs the wrong things, what could possibly be worst
Bankrupt and helpless because you were all along a slave
Trapped by a system who pre-meditated your grave
The Creator who lives and sees us below
Seems to not care or even really know
Allows your fate with no mercy at all
The death poem of a Priest whose surely about to fall
You're always sick from frustration and pain
You long for water and that’s when it never rains
You think every day about those whom you love
You pray for their return to the almighty up above
But lo and behold your faith is getting low
Your anointing is getting shallow, your zeal very slow
Your focus is gone and you dream every night
Where are your sons, are they alright
What did you do so bad to be stabbed in your heart
A man with strength whose now torn completely apart
Perhaps it was lack of Spirit, the Ruwach Qodesh
Not understanding the role of the woman of holiness
Perhaps its lack of Truth, that you so honestly tried to live
Perhaps you just didn’t have all the necessary means to give
Perhaps you were not good enough no matter how hard you tried
Perhaps your vision wasn’t worthy and you deserved to have been lied
Thoughts and tears flow through your heart each day
Why oh why were your own kids taken away
You thought it took two parents to make up and raise a child
But it only takes "one" in court, that is the "first one" who files
With no support, but wounds in and out
With a frail soul and spirit depressed and in doubt
With thoughts of horror and just ending it all
Never expecting that this is the day you would fall
No longer are you noticed or that your name is heard
Only to be thought of as a proverb and byword
You look all around you and see the fate of the world
The value that has lost the beauty of the pearl
There’s nothing you can do, nothing more can you say
But raise the white flag and turn and go away
So finally you breathe deep and the lights shine on you once more
"Lady’s and gentlemen", you say, "I’m now closing the door
Sorry I could not help you or lead you the right way
I can’t even be a father so what more can I say
I wish you all the best and peace in your life
But my soul is dead, from the stab of an emotional knife"
When you struggle each day, to erase the memory
Only to find your dreams having you toss and turn in your sleep
The stress has you sick, from a sad broken mind
fighting against a system, that robs the peace you try to find
Its depressing to live with what has happened to my sons and me
missing them soo much can be very frustrating
Sometimes Its hard to minister with this burden on my heart
Seems the more I try to be whole the more I fall apart
But I fight with my faith, praying to the Eternal Father and Mother
Teaching family values to my hebrew sister and brother
making a difference in others who have been hurt just like me
establishing the Vision; The Israelite Torah Covenant Community
Re-Accepting my anointing, and my purpose that i once hurled
understanding the test that prepared me to help save this World
Building a future with a hope for all Nations
Healed by Yahwahs Spirit, raised by their revelations
The silence is great, the shock is much
Ears are tickled, hearts are touched
You give One Last tear, the last of your piece
But this is not the end of a fallen Young Priest?
There will never be an end to this Standing Young Priest!!!!!!
"The light that you once shined for the whole world to see
Was douched with the dust of open adultery"
This is exceptional I really enjoyed your work.
