Seed

To the tree that once grew
Who's seed was planted within the dirt's womb 
You were, born into sin and shaped in iniquity
You longed for protection and room to grow 
So, I allowed your roots to soak up the stream and spread like wildfire in your soil 
For I knew you needed food for your core 

But,  you scarcely sowed your own seed in the darkest soil 
Only to have your stock take root on earth 
And, be carried like stubble in a storm 
Because you had no firm root nor belief, you let temptation swept you away 
And, led your branches astray 

Enticed by the unknown, the burdens of life weighed you down and flatten your limbs
They would curl up at the sight of the leaves left behind 
For you knew that one leaf of sin would decompose back into your soul
So, you swayed with the wind and tried your hardest not to let the gust blow them to and fro 

In your maelstrom of emotions you realized that you failed to bear good fruits 
Because you rejected God's law and despise his words 
So, you must be uprooted, chopped down, lose your branches, stripped of your foliage and thrown into fire 
For you became doubly dead
