Left out

2781

They rise like poppies in the field 

 

Plucked off as they bloom 

 

Their beauty just an illusion 

 

Still the people swoon

 

Hell has them in confusion 

 

Rich men weep and howl 

 

Other get the show

 

Punishing the past 

 

As if they really know 

 

Forefathers rest in their graves 

 

A few generations 

 

We all became slaves

 

Professing to be wise

 

Only fools 

 

Leave out the one who counts 

 

Not understanding there are rules 

 

The land is full of idols they worship the work of their hands 

 

Praising one another 

 

They really don't understand 

 

He will have them in derision 

 

And laugh at all their plans 

 

Where is his glory 

 

It's all a sham

 

A work of fiction 

 

Written by man 

 

Not understanding the sincere milk of the word 

 

In contradictory terms truly absurd.
