This original post for this poem was deemed too controversial for vocal.media (or just too religious).

They took Beyond Gibeon which covers a lot of the same themes, so who knows?

It might just have been the verses from Genesis that I included for reference, so I am resubmitting it without them and linking to this page instead.  Same as Beyond Gibeon.

Update:  Apparently removing the verses did the trick!

Genesis 12:1-7 (NIV)

The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

“I will make you into a great nation,

and I will bless you;

I will make your name great,

and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;

and all peoples on earth

will be blessed through you.”

So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there. Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.



Genesis 35:4 (NIV)

So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.
