A Visible Cancer

Ken Pullen – copyright 2011

Scripture in this poem is from the KJV and
appears in Italics

And God saw that the wickedness
of man
was great in the earth,
and that
every imagination of the thoughts
of his heart
was only evil continually

A visible cancer
spreads
consuming the light
obscuring from the heart
that which is right
instead placing upon a manmade altar
to worship
serve
sorcery
blasphemy
feminism
atheism
homosexuality
New Age just the same through the ages evil
fermenting upheaval
distancing denying
selfish crying
denomination abomination
lies
false doctrine clung to like cat fur to velvet
false teachers increase
(their offshore accounts)
no heed, care for the death they spread
filling almost every head
with their infection
cancer
perversions
for which they shall answer
greed
gluttony
envy
strife
a visible cancer
spreads through the majority of life
so thick
so visible
so palpable
it can be cut with a knife
only to grow back
more malignant
ignorant
bleeding
where the slashing incision was made
fetid ooze
pouring
spreading
cancer growing
like a vine on steroids
visible
if only
they had eyes to see
ears to hear
if only
the truth they did not fear
