"Birds of the Bible Series"
He waits on the fence post,
this pensive Black Vulture,
he knows it is dying,
the modern day culture.
When lust has destroyed,
those ruled by their greed
he'll wait by the roadside,
as they will soon bleed.
The traitors and sinners,
and keepers of gold,
have looted and stolen,
and traded their souls.
For treasures and mansions,
and white invitations,
for grandeur and power,
and sinful persuasions.
The land they have stolen,
from great tribal neighbors,
the slaves they've mistreated,
who gave them their labor.
The vulture is waiting,
as rich men buy castles,
while poor men are struggling,
with every day hassles.
The vain heathen pleasures,
reap comforts a while,
and sleep-walking mortals,
applaud wealth and style.
But dark clouds are rising,
all over this culture,
The sins of the spirit,
unleashing the vultures.
But blessed are those,
who work for the Lord,
and honor their Savior,
Who gives the rewards.
For those who continue,
to hurt those in need
will soon reap a harvest,
of sorrow and grief.
So turn to the Savior,
oh sad, sinful culture,
escape the invasion,
of waiting black vultures.
Revelation 19: 17 - 21
King James Version
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
***Psalm 37 also details the plight of the wicked. God does not appreciate evil men who mistreat people. He will deal with them, as shown in this Psalm of King David.
