Murmuring and Muttering

M and M ... bitter chocolate Exodus groaning Desert vile hope melting in the fetter-free hands Wilderness wandering lust ... Egyptian longing Some wanting to shortly shackle return to the chains of long captivity Be slave pawns in Pharaoh’s wicked plans, such a reprobate pity M and M death yearnings — The Living God, those err tomb walkers chose to withstand Murmuring ... desiring evil, carnal things Muttering ... hatred for the daily, manna offering M and M Brash Luciferin arm unatoned, vocal stones hidden hand thrown Cast angrily without any godly fear, the fiery serpent bit the deaf complainers in the ear M and M ... dark chocolate moaning Godless cries drowning in the desert sea The Rock turned the dry land into miry sand Quickly putting the sinking souls in the smoldering place they beggarly wanted to be

Free will is a dangerous companion. Another thought provoking piece.
