After Acts 5:17-42
These
hotheaded priests
these
rich young rulers
always
ready to strike,
to
smite, extremists
in
an extreme time,
ignoring
the obvious,
the
rays of the sun,
the
drops from the clouds,
the
testimonies of the prophets
before.
If it is not from God
it
will perish. If it is from God
no
one can stand against it.
Let
it be.
Bring
me my scrolls.
Bring
me my wine.
