Accountability
Thou shall not stand a-dawdling idly by
While your battling neighbor's blood is splilled,
And you can see that his defeat draws nigh
While his frame is with sheer terror chilled.
Stop partying then and idle vanities,
Go!- throw the golf sticks quickly overboard,
Put armor on, well smeared with axle grease,
And help your fighting brother - says the Lord!
Lend your big ears to hear the desperate cry, -
Resistance to mad tyrants truly is
Obedienmce to God Almighty high,
Who sees Benghazi beat and Tripolis.
Your brother's blood will cry out loud to me
Imploring vengeance for his grim defeat,
And life lost due to coward lethargy,
Abandoning the brother in great need
Go hurry then,- accountable you are!
For blood spilled in most, cruel Genicide,
You! - that had power to prevent and bar
And used it not for works and deeds if light.
Leviticus 9-16
