Alexis Neiers, Don't Break Your Covenant of Love (baby)
(Jeremiah 14:17-18) Therefore you shall say this word to them: "Let my eyes flow with tears night and day, And let them not cease; For the virgin daughter of my people Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow. If I go out to the field, Then behold, those slain with the sword! And if I enter the city, Then behold, those sick from famine! Yes, both prophet and priest go about in a land they do not know.'"
----------------------/Alexis Neiers, Don't Break Your Covenant of Love (baby)/
Alexis,
Babylon is a devastating pernicious nation
like the loneliness I feel when youre not around
(let my eyes flow with tears night and day –
and let them not cease!)
like Jerusalem’s wall mutilated then its people deported captive –
inflicting a mighty stroke with a very serve blow
because being bereft of your presence is a cracked whip
when I think of you I see my chains, and
these lovelorn chains of the tyrannized and downtrodden single man
seeking for a woman to love him
are so heavy laden
girls who reject me are like despicable soldiers kicking fallen stones
spitting on my hope as if a once glorious Temple now razed.
outside, in the fields of my heart, those (aspirations) slain with the sword
are many
gushing blood of angst that only those undesired bleed
and within, the realms of my soul, are those sick from famine
like children and injured citizens deserted
in the flight to preserve life; the fight to keep seeking a soulmate…
yes both the prophet and priest,
my dignity and my conscience
wander in an unfamiliar land dolefully
in desperate, wanton need
of your rescue
(Love me, and rescue me, Alexis. Set me free and take me back to Zion – then we can be PRETTY WILD TOGETHER AS HUSBAND AND WIFE!!! WOO-HOOO!!!)
-------------------------------
(19-22) Have You utterly rejected Judah? Has Your soul loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us so that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but there was no good; And for the time of healing, and there was trouble. We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness And the iniquity of our fathers, For we have sinned against You. Do not abhor us, for Your name’s sake; Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory. Remember, do not break Your covenant with us. Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Are You not He, O LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for You, Since You have made all these.
