Disrespecting the Word

You have rejected His warning,
Trusted oppression and deceit;
So better watch out some morning,
For finding yourself in defeat.

Your sin is just like a high wall,
That is having a bulging crack;
And looking as ready to fall,
When it suddenly gets a whack.

It will break just like pottery,
Smashed so that nothing will be left;
And you will be in poverty,
After thieves accomplished their theft.

You can be saved if you return,
And be able to have the rest;
So with judgment you will not burn,
Knowing that you have passed the test.

You can be strong within your trust,
And quiet to what God commands;
Instead of pleasures that you lust,
While standing on sinking sands.

But do you desire for that,
For loose women that are fast;
And fancy food that makes you fat,
Are your style but will not last.
