Such evil born the way you came, <br />To claim your laurels in religious fame. <br />And the Beloved learn to fear your name, <br />Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? <br /> <br />No compassion you give, no mercy, no rest, <br />You pursue the flock like a demon possessed. <br />In righteous zeal you excel to the best. <br />Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? <br /> <br />This terrible wrong in the name of right, <br />You move ever onward pursuing your fight. <br />Like a dog ever circling, ever looking to bite. <br />Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? <br /> <br />The banner you wave you truly believe, <br />You think I approve and the whole world will see, <br />But my body is broken for the least of these. <br />Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? <br /> <br />3/6/06<br /><br />Gary Bryson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/saul-saul/
