Friend or Traitor                   10/6/2020

 

Three days

All falls apart

Just like I said

We were told long ago. 

 

Some try to save

And others

Try to murder

Now and then

The witness stands alone.

 

Speaking out truth

In spite of every danger

Poison dipped arrows

Invisible daggers

Too small to see.

 

No lie will work

Not against the saints

For those who mock

Live on borrowed time. 

 

They who mocked

Also laughed

At the possibility

Of death. 

 

Maybe an hour

And maybe two

Maybe a day

But never more

Than three. 

 

The last has

Not come

The biggest lie of all

Still yet to emerge. 

 

Though the threaten

And though they rage

It’s not against one they hate

But also you and me. 

 

If possible they will come

And if they can

They would try

Killing you

And killing me. 

 

Better now

Than later

We will do

What we must.

 

Pray for the witness

Calling down the fire

Risking all

For you and me.
