Famine
Ken Pullen  –  copyright 2011
Scripture appears in Italics from the King James Version
Conditions ripe
vine full of rot
dead from the roots
on up through the shoots
branches withered
spewing of lies
among the entire lot
too long a veiling of the eyes
closing of the ears
to truth
for
there is coming…
there is coming
there is coming
such a famine
the likes of which
none have have ever known
due to what this world
has sown
Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord GOD,
that I will send a famine in the land,
not a famine of bread,
nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the LORD:
And they shall wander from sea to sea,
and from the north even to the east,
they shall run to and fro
to seek the word of the LORD,
and shall not find [it].
Feasting upon the sugar
emptiness
never filling
flesh so willing
spirits malnourished
while the lies flourished
gluttonous hordes
with the sweetened drool of lies
for so long
letting the locusts
of destruction
flit about
land at will
spewing their swill
covering them in the suffocating sugared lies
leaving them to die
the hordes drinking down
that bitter pill
senses altered
for the thought sweet
brings bitter death
as some awaken
feeling hungered
thirsting
parched
wanting substance
sustenance
they will search every cupboard
pantry
room
shelf
leave their homes
travel to and fro
restless
relentless
famished
as the famine grips them
their ears
heart
spirit now gone deaf
the hot dry winds
of famine’s coming consequence
their only sense
knowing
knowing
knowing
they need nourishment
they wallow
find it difficult to swallow
dryness
within
caused by all that sin
falling so short
as the truth they would always
thwart
now parched
and feeling the pangs
the famine is coming…
is coming
is coming
Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord GOD,
that I will send a famine in the land,
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the LORD:
And they shall wander from sea to sea,
and from the north even to the east,
they shall run to and fro
to seek the word of the LORD,
and shall not find [it].
Poverty of truth
shunning of the Son
a quest to only have fun
under God’s sun
from the meat
did they run
now they hunger
and cannot find a morsel
nor a drop
for it is coming…
it is coming
it is coming
a famine of such proportion
such depth and breadth
no man or woman
will receive any portion
of God’s Word
the Life Giving Waters
will cease to flow
not to be found wherever
one might go
seeking
their hunger
reeking
seen visible in terrified eye
all those years
in vanity
pursuing worldly insanity
the lie seen reflecting
in those now hungry eyes
finding not a Word
to be heard
It is coming…
it is coming
it is coming
a famine of the worst kind
a famine where no Truth
will one find
as they now seek
for
Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord GOD,
that I will send a famine in the land,
not a famine of bread,
nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the LORD:
And they shall wander from sea to sea,
and from the north even to the east,
they shall run to and fro
to seek the word of the LORD,
and shall not find [it].
