Disordered Awareness

—— Jezebel

Being indulged in Baal to tempt ignorant ones,
it exposed illusion in the genuine and sham trial.
Not reconciled by concealing it but be conspicuous,

sought life of prophet on the top of Mount Carmel.

Being brimful of deceitful tricks to cajole husband,
she made a false charge against the meek and integrity.

Grabbing Naboth’s inheritance, heaven-bestowed vineyard,
curses incurred approached to for plotting thuggery.

Scoundrels were appointed to conduct evil in haste,

rebel troops in chariot flocked in a bare-faced way.
It’s doomed to destruction for the one who is unjust,
biding the proper opportunity till to confide the day.

Eunuchs in secret chamber responded as fast as they can.
She’s thrown down with blood-spattered dismembered remain.

“On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs will devour Jezebel’s flesh. Jerebel’s body will be like refuse
on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, ‘This is Jezebel.’”
