From the moment you were born
You were hated
Rejected, detested, despised
As people looked on you with burning eyes
of judgement.
They threw you in the dirt
And they didn’t think of you as worthy of a shirt
So there you lay in ****** naked shame
Feeling alone, wondering if anyone felt the same
way.
Then as I was passing by
And you lay in the dust about to die
I called out to you
Live!
You don’t have to die
I will make you thrive
Like the flowers of the field
Beauty is the fruit that you will yield
You will not need any covering for your frame
Because you will not feel any shame
Because I will make you beautiful
And then I perfected that beauty
I made you mine
And you tasted the sweetest of wines
You had the finest of clothes
They accented you like pedals on a rose
You had the purest of stones
And you became more famous than kings sitting on thrones
Because of your beauty
You were mine
But then you walked away
Showing off your beauty like it was meant for a common display
You gave yourself away to lovers and affairs
Your beauty became theirs
You filled your life and beauty with pollution
You lowered yourself to the point of prostitution
And not once did you think to return
You destroyed my gifts they would’ve been better off burned
Every single gift I gave
You twisted them around and threw them away
For the sake of your prostitution
I had given you all
But you decided to fall
And though I extended my hand
You slapped it away like I had been banned
From your presence
So therefore I say to you go now
Destroy my gifts and forsake our vows
This is what you desire
So go give yourself to the thieves and the liars
I won’t stop you
You gave yourself away to everyone who passed you by
But you were still never satisfied
And there was no one who saw you that thought you could fall any lower
But you found a way
You refused to be paid
For your prostitution
And you took it even farther than that
You paid your lovers for your ****** acts
So if you want so badly to be exposed
So be it, I will gather all of your lovers together and they will oppose - you
Then you will see
That all these people you gave yourself to so easily
They are the same people that left you alone to die at the beginning of your life
So here you are again, naked, ashamed, and wallowing in your strife
Why did you leave
Why did you have to make me grieve
You were mine
Like a star I made you shine - in all your beauty
But then you left me for humanity
You chose their path in all of its vanity
But I will bring you back
I will take you away from everything sinful, everything black
And all the immorality you gave yourself to
I will make vanish like a morning’s dew
And I will put a new heart within you
Because I am holy
This is not for your sake but for my glory
All those who turned away and cast you aside
They will see that again, I have made you my beautiful bride
Never again will you experience famine or drought
And never again will anyone have any doubt
That you are mine
Ezekiel
