Repulsive Scabs and Open Sores Upon the Dermatitis of Job
scab infected curse upon the skin of the chosen
rotting open sores collecting maggots
feeding on the pus that embellishes his reddened skin
dermatitis flakes and oozing green liquids
effluent of a repulsive stench emerges from the rash
Job, the one whom God has chosen to bear this ailment
suffering under the eye of his Creator
he never curses nor spits toward his master
a homeless contagion of horrific wounds
as the flesh rots from his bones
and the worms below await feeding
he raises his stumps to the sky
and screams bloodclots in praise
coughing up mucus and bile fluids from his mouth
faithful during this time of trial
