‘The Void of Absence’ (God)

You delivered them time after time. You warned them to return to Your law, but they became arrogant and disobeyed Your commands.

The Void of Absence (God)

what kind of people
you have become
of showmen and false worshipers
of entertainers and blasphemists

who for likes and followers
living for the collection
giving the people
what they want
sacrificing your freedom
willingly
foregoing a righteous invitation
to the kingdom of all kingdoms

how saddened has My† heart
become

so many times
I've† turned you back
so many times
you relented
then returned to the path
of self-serving

entertainers and whiners
forced the molding
of the golden calf
as I† spoke to their leader
who gave of himself

gold and silver seekers
changed the people's hearts
to follow them
for they said
their lives were better
the life of the world

I† forgave them over and over
for I† am
and cannot change

it is the people
who change
upon themselves bring calamity

to right the balance
more calamity
then the people blame
curse and hate
when it's always been 
themselves

I† am the Lord Almighty God†
My† love is sincere
the ways of the world
are always the same
and I† have to right them
