Summing up Deuteronomy! The Song of Moses (PART A)

[short URL: goo.gl/Ze7cMn ]

Low Earth and high Sky
hear these words of mine,
and listen closely
to what comes from me.

My teaching will fall
like large drops of rain
& water it all,
as dew comes again,

my words like showers
that fall on young plants
strengthened from hours
of gentle romance.

I will praise his name,
Yahweh is the same.
All his people will
tell his greatness still!

Yahweh’s (not so still)
ninja to protect,
all his methods will
be just and perfect!

Your God: faithful, true,
does what’s right & fair!
Unfaithful are you,
unworthy ’v ’is care.

Full of sin, deceipt,
grown as a nation
’z this  the way to treat
Yahweh’s salvation?

You act with less sense,
fools who do not know
which side of the fence
you’re from, or to go.

Your great creator,
-        made you a nation,
is no berater,
has a Father’s elation.

Think back on the past
from ages ago;
grandfathers you ask
’ll tell you, so you’ll know:

The Most High Assigned
the  nations their lands,
folk’s “lots” were defined,
“protectors” took stands;

but Jacob’s small flock
he chose for himself,
to be it’s high rock
and to be their wealth.

He found them wand’ring
out in the desert,
’bout to be squand’ring
life where it’s desolate.

Then he protected
and cared from them too,
daily inspected,
as such one would do.

Just as an eagle
that teaches it’s young
to fly so regal-
-ly catches each one





on it’s spreading wings;
’n before that hovers
with food, & proddings.
He led this novice.

No foreign god-sies
were helper to him,
no borrowed wad-sies
of debt did he bring.

He let them rule
& they ate and found,
rock honey (so cool)
and olives abound-

-ed, milk was plenty
and mutton & beef,
choicest wine, then he
gave best barley/wheat.

God’s people grew rich,
but rebellious too;
grew fat with an itch
to be stuffed with food.

They abandoned God
their own creator
and then gave the nod
to Johnies-come-later.

Their mighty Saviour
they rejected straight;
followed the flavour
of their evil mates,

ignored the family,
and rules of the house,
’nwith Father  angry,
said he was “a louse”.

Made Husband  jealous
by whoring around;
her web was zealous:
more new men were found.

Strangers that knew not
her background & life;
empty hot-shots,
would not make her “wife”.

When Yahweh saw this
he was overcome
and rejected his
own daughters & sons.

“I’ve no longer got
help for them,” he said;
“and I will see what
then happens to them,

those stubborn unfaith-
-ful people. With their
made-gods who are fake
my jealousy flares.

So I will now use
a made-nation (fake),
to light up their fuse,
to them jealous make.

My anger will flare
& burn the earth,
reach Sheol, & where
  mountains come to birth!
