Imprecation

some brothers, some sisters

to whose words I pay careful attention,

say we must now pray imprecatory prayers

call judgement and condemnation down

from God on those opposing Him

who also oppose His own

calling on David, Paul and others

to serve as justification

but

once again, I don’t see it

I just don’t see it

though I have tried, I do try, I keep trying

to see how Christians must do more than pray

for those who hating God hate also who love Him

that we must also call curses down upon them

but

the best Messianic or apostolic words the Bible has

do no more than promise judgment

yet do not fail to offer hope

to those still dead
