Jeremiah

Do you think that you were made just to sound the alarm

Did you ever wonder if anyone would listen

Or did you think they all would?

Standing there in the ruins of the city

That word you could not quench

The voices you could not quiet

The fire you could not quell

You who were mocked and ignored

Still there yelling, sobbing, mourning and fighting

Bringing forth the word

Foretelling death and judgment

The one who was chosen

The one who was hated.

But it didn’t change your message.

It didn’t mean you were wrong

Just a piece of cruel irony

The prophet to a hardened people

Who thought they understood God
