Samuel the Lamanite


(From the Book of Mormon.
The Book of Mormon is a sacred record
of some of the people who lived on the American Continents
between about 2,000 B.C. and A.D. 400. It contains the fullness
of the gospel of Jesus Christ.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Samuel the Lamanite warns the Nephites to repent,
for you have to know that Samuel, he was heaven sent
to lead the Nephites to righteousness with his warning,
upon the wall, evading arrows, possibly in the morning.
Samuel shouts to all that they must repent
and turn to God, for he has been sent.
All the wickedness and riches, a hard-hearted, material life
could lead them to some God given strife.
God's set to destroy the people at large,
he wants them to know that he's in charge.
The people push Samuel away and his life they threaten,
the proper attention he's just not gettin'.
"It's time to repent" Samuel shouts so clear,
but the Nephites push him away, some refuse to hear.
Samuel does all he can until he finally goes,
would the Nephites repent? God only knows.
