It is not ok

It is not ok

by Joel Howard

see Ezekiel 16

Son of man, come here, I say

And tell me, is this okay...

That wives of husbands go astray? 

No, Lord, surely it is not okay

Son of man, if I love Her 

And have made my own home with Her

And then she turns to another lover

Son of man, is that okay? 

No, Lord, it is not ok

Son of man, if She could share

What was meant for Her and I alone

Should a King now share his very throne

Which was meant for Him alone? 

Son of man, is that okay? 

No, Lord, it is not ok

Why would birds forfeit their wings

Why would princes abandon their kings

Why would sky turn into land? 

This is not the way, O son of man

This is not the way, not in this land
