Foxes and Frogs

I have sweet grapes
Turn it into new wine
I'll never thirst again
I'll never fail this time
Jawbone is my weapon of choice
Killed ten thousand infadels
But the lady was my vice
It was the cunning
The sly
The little foxes that spoiled the vine
Got the large mammals down
But the little creatures crept inside
Thought I was fine
Thought I was fine

Now that theyre here
I dont know how to recompense
Add up all my failures
And the sum is immense
They'll be on my bed
My floors
My house
My doors
you say
Choose your way
Why sleep with frogs
When you could leap for joy today?


This poem is about the two step process of falling away from God. You make sure and keep the "important" things in check but let the little things slip in and slowly those start to effect you. The little foxes that spoil the vine is made mention in proverbs. The jawbone reference is referring to Samson and how he was so annointed and followed after Gods plan for his life but let the little things slide.
The second portion of the poem is inspired by Pastor Robert Wahler. The frogs were a plague on the Egyptians in order to let Gods people go. When Moses asked Pharoh when he wanted to get rid of the frogs and pharoh said "Tommorrow". The poem is all about taking care of those things today and not pushing it off until tommorrow. "Today is the day of salvation".
