FORGED BY FIRE,
TEMPERED IN THE WORD: in preview
       "I" SOCIETY
        -Bonita M Quesinberry

"I" sang a song and gained
   fame.
"I" wrote the words and
   became a household name.
"I" invented great wonders
   and accepted the glories.
Oh, this "I" society
   and its puffed up stories!
It thinks it is free to fly,
yet in bondage it struggles to try.

"I" healed the soul,
   body and mind,
for you see, "I"
   am a special kind.
"I" built rockets
   and flew to the moon.
Why, "I" even developed
   the flowers that bloom.
Oh, this "I" society and its
   self-acclaimed wonders!
You well tremble,
   for God's wrath
      greatly thunders!
continued:

"I" am judge, jury
   and executioner of law.
Before "I", even nations
   tremble and fall!
Why, pray tell me,
   who is better than "I",
"I", who can cast
   the mote from your eye?
Oh, "I", be damned
   and committed to hell!
For the devil's number you
   have and his name you spell!

Truth is, "I" created
   whore mongers, murderers,
      liars and cheats,
only to fall by the wayside,
   "I"~~ lying in defeat.
"I"~~ cannot glory in itself
   and claim belief,
nor out of its mire
   can it dredge relief!
For all that is created,
   invented and healed,
the glory to God, or "I"~~
   won't be heavenly sealed.
