THE FIRST FOUR
Reuben, his first seed
His strength he signified
But his father’s bed he defiled
A piece of trust crumbled.

Judah, a seed called praise
Went down from his brethren
To dine with a foreign man
The beginning of his failures.

Simeon, a ray of hope
“God does hear!” His mother said
But cursed be his anger
For his sword brings death.

Levi, a seed of reunion
A hope to bond with her husband
But cursed be his wrath
For nations are consumed in his self-will.
