Ishmael's Appeal - Part Three
Ishmael's Appeal - Part Three
The justice of many would see
who has the right to sit with this King
and wear...his signet ring...
So the king invited many to join
this table with his face on a new coin
and spend time....working his way.
His subjects were always simple
therefore...
his answers were always right...
and people lined up for a day...
just for a chance....
to sit right at this table
or, even take what was under the table.
Generations of servents sat at this table
and waited for the applause of the Father
who was surely looking his way...????
But when things did not go his way
he got angry and bitter and threw things away.
So...the wine at his table got bitter
instead of getting better
He was a Saul before a great fall
who has heading straight for Sheol.
But as long as the line stayed long
the table was stable...to tell this fable
and sow....#e#ce...he thought????
