Judgement

Court is in session.

You seem to have a Lil Nas X complex.
Getting stressed over behavior you object.
By what measure is what defines the pressure.
It’s all fine & clever when it’s your accepted treasure.

Perform or here comes the storm.
Social norms or you will be reformed.
Misinformed you looking quite deformed.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Judgement starts at the House of God.
You need to stop voicing your thoughts.

Seek and you’ll find.
Asking The Vine.
Open and He’s mine.
Covered by suffering.
Spirit hovering.
Soul discovering as it’s recovering.

Your mind is still buffering.
Imagination wandering as it’s wondering.
Flesh shuddering at His Voice thundering.
But my deaf flesh just hears muttering.

A Son spends his time doing what’s on His Mind.
The day has passed doing things that will never last.
A reckoning is beckoning for those who don’t count themselves dead to sin.
Preach awakening to those misaligned as blind.

Self-Controlled.
Sober-Minded.
Have clarity over your charity.
Love covers a multitude of sins.

Receive your gift.
Send it to another for their bliss.
Speak with God’s words.
Serve with God’s strength.

Everything glorified through Yah’s Son.
Don’t be weary of the trial and make fun.
Rejoice in the pain that destroys Shame.
Insulted? Consider yourself Blessed.

Heaven as your headdress.
Spirit of Glory.
The Spirit of Yahweh.
Rests on you.

If you suffer as a Rested One.
Rejoice that you are a Chosen One.
Judgement starts at The House.
Scared now for those who crawl around like a mouse?

Very interesting! I am assuming Lil Nas X and his shoes helped spark this piece.

"Self-Controlled.
Sober-Minded.
Have clarity over your charity.

Powerful indeed! Love definitely can convey honesty but when it is manipulated...is it really love then?

[Apollos]

You are correct! People getting triggered over that had me reflecting on judgement.

My best definition of manipulated love is selfish assertion.
Just because you speak into someone’s life doesn’t mean it’s loving.

[Nefertiti Virtudes Ahmes]

I am going to have to agree! Manipulated love is crazy. People changing someone to fit who they wish/want them to be instead of loving who they really are...is..not love.

[Apollos]

Amen Sista!

[John the Baptist]

Sounds like a rapper's version of The Sermon on the Mount. Quite a few Biblical quotes here if you look for them. Probably wouldn't go over too well in Tehran, though.

[Apollos]

You spotted correctly!
