Warnings
Proverbs 5:12 New Living Translation (NLT)
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
Isaiah 59:1 New Living Translation (NLT)
Warnings against Sin
59 Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you,
nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call.
Man-made
Drive me towards sanity I have a one-way ticket
It was bought and paid for by someone else
Escaping temporarily from this nagging sickness
That’s where I hoped to find the answers by myself
Leaning back on a seat formed by frustration
It seems to fit me perfectly as I’m leaning back
Hand to the plow with sleep depravation
I am ready to harvest with a crick in my neck
How to get up now has become a major issue
Wherever I pull or tug I am still going down
Always sinking deeper searching for a tissue
To wipe my artificial tears being dressed as a clown
I am not the only one in this man-made circus
Sheep and goats in the stands watching this escapade
Clapping and laughing and howling as a surplus
At my frustration in this world destined to fail
“Let me be”, I pleaded to my inner self
“I know right from wrong”, I am here to suffer
Warnings not unheeded as you surely can tell
An oft-repeated song but not much of a buffer
