Isaiah 3:16

O you got to read that Bible in part.
If you do, you get a great start;
Your interest will rise like the wind:
“Heads held high with seductive eyes.”
“Mincing steps and bangles on their feet.” (Is. 3:16)
O, those ladies were lookin’ sweet!
But Isaiah goes on to say
“We’re takin’ that beauty away! (18)
Talkin’ ’bout earrings, bracelets, and veils,
Finger rings, nose rings and well-set hair, (24)
Arousin’ those fellows to get a stare.”
Said, He’s takin’ it away in that Day!
His judgment is in all o’ that fray.
He’ll turn that fine belt into a rope; (24)
Take away your misplaced hope.
Your men are gonna fall by the sword; (26)
There’ll be much for you to mourn.
So bombs away throughout the day,
Got to step up and into the foray.
Do it on the sly or on the run.
Anyway you like;  get ‘er done!
Can’t sleep while babies are dying.
Don’t turn your ears from their crying;
Lots of ways to start trying.
You can talk it up with your friends;
Write those letters of opinion;
Put it in the minds of the minions.
Stand for force that is justified
Lest in your morals you get calcified.
