Analysis of Old Covenant priorities.

Doug Blair 1951 (London)



Hebrew writes
From right to left
With God-expecting eyes.
The rest of us from
Left to right.
First sightings, then surmise.
The Romans we’ll just
Build the the thing
The Greeks use ethics, theatres
To sing.
And heathens from Missouri say
Just show me Bud, today.
But Jews will challenge
God first.
Trust His Mind, Heart, Power.
Then do your worst.
And thirst, thirst, thirst.
