Trouble is coming to the rebellious , the defiled.
The tryrannical, she would never listen to the call.
By our self will we are so often beguiled.
We look too often to the heart and not the soul.

You will cease to strut on my holy mountain.
In your midst I will leave a humble and lowly people .
One day we will drink from an ever flowing fountain.
One day we will climb to the loftiest steeple.

“I will not go”but he thought better of it and went.
The second answered “certainly sir“ but did not go.
How often are my good intentions rent and bent.
How often is it just easier to go with the flow.

It’s better to pause before saying yes.
Otherwise we might end up with a lot less.

……..

Often I say yes
I then just prevaricate
Better to say no
