the cherry of rotten fruit

What is this cherry of harvest time of tree of rotten fruit.
With boughs laid bare in rapine of treasury raided loot.

The tests and trails of the courts leave hearts whithered in despair
Justice birthed for in balanced scale was found in cradle bare.

They hatch adders eggs and weave the shroud of death in the spider's web
They who dine on them die in hope and crushed a viper's head breaks out in ebb.

Their webs serve not to clothe nor cover what they make
Iniquity is their weave of violence and goodness they forsake.

They vote themselves to evil ways in ballot blossomed bud
To cannibalize the web of life in the shedding of innocent blood.

The way of peace they know not it is a foreign trail
Led by feet which run to evil in a banshee perpetual wail.

We groan and growl as beasts are made of all humanity
Gleaned and cropped in rationed care mass genocidal tragedy.

Their heart is but a dead wood aflame with not any good
Passions there misunderstood an inferno smoking hood.

When Truth stood up in statue breath of Lady Liberty
The star of the north was made a prey in political rape revelry.

And He saw none to intercede for His justice in the land
Therefore He put on His strong arm to save in love by His own hand.

Righteousness in coat of mail and salvation upon His head
Clothed in vengeance, clad in zeal, The Lord sovereign dread.

According to the spoiled repay wrath to the adversaries
Recompense and reckoning the compensation of Divine inspired breeze.

When the enemy comes like the flood, there the Spirit will stand
Against the foe in rushing waters, the Lord of Hosts will stand.

Redeemer to His family full who learned of His lesson
The heritage blessed from the Day Star on high who turn from transgression.

This is the league I have with you in Spirit written upon your hearts
The Law in your children and grandchildren will never more depart.

Shake the boughs laid of rotten fruit bowed grave down to the ground
Harvest time from thence henceforth in The Book the recipe is found.
