    His Prey (Original)

     His Prey

    He hears desert wolves howl.  Alone, praying, he stalks his Prey throughout 
    For forty days he hungered licking only dew from the plants for thirst  
    His suffrages were many denying pleasures instead of the torment endured 
    He is the Alpha and the Omega 

    He gets closer to His Prey the temptations are greatest, yet; he endures
    The endurance promises His flock is spared from that same evil Prey 
    He comes close to the howling high upon a precipice He starts the ascent
    Knowing the worthiness upon which his Father had sent 

    Reaching the cave upon the precipice, the Sheperd locates his Flock
    His Lambs are scattering through the valley beneath as he wretched in the den 
    Sights of Lambs at the slaughter, blood flowing, he hollered within the sin 
    How is My Flock to the slaughter mine mind no more withstands grim

    I now know not to hear to lies you spread about, the time dost cometh to cast thee out
    Knoweth now never to you will I falleth, nor believe in that you sayeth; I shan't, I dost cast thee out  
    My Father dost maketh me strong, giveth me love and showeth me my path I dost follow 
    Noweth through His almighty strength dost thou be cast out from within my soul, His love, and word be-eth forever

    The usage of old English is setting appropriate time and place. Flawless and very profound. Excellent read beautiful . Magnificent

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
