+------Alex Smith In The Lions' Den
Alex, Dak Prescott
and the Cowboys- 120 gridiron
satraps and administrators
of King Darius (Roger Goodell)
Persian, minatory, sinister. Their
breath odious. They’ve propagated
a decree perverse:
that you, your teammates, Skins’s
fans bow to a gargantuan Goodell
stone monument of your 2019 NFL
playoff absence, a Patriots/Cowboys
Superbowl. Washington’s dreams
hurled into a den of mediocrity, savage
lions of NFC East despair within snarling.
Hungry for broken hearts of losing
players. But today, your sharp
passing’ll be an angel legion
encircling, valiant. Your speed/agility
on 3rd and long, wild beasts of
ineptitude tamed. When you throw
the game winning TD, like the first
light of dawn revealing you victorious.
The King astounded, the lions of the
Redskins’s past failures purring.
------Daniel 6:13-23
Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed; he was determined to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him. Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.” So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep. At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.” The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
