drives Caleb to warfare and attitude bad;

as his heart was torn by desert forlorn,

and bodies of brothers dropped at his feet.

Faith spurred by solar heat and defeat;

of not even trying. Forty years of grief

and crying as Holy purges fear of the unknown,

appetites for Egypt and comfortable homes.

Approach to Most High God, one of distrust;

chosen peoples disguised sins and attitudes to adjust.

Promise of fruitful bounty dried on sand,

unfaithful lips talk about promised land;

but refuse to cross over to gain.

The barking dog has seethed because of vain,

and Joshua refuses to leave Gods side;

for both faithful men yearn to reside;

in the land of fulfilled promise.

Times like these land upon us,

and demand we take a stand;

one which places us in disfavor,

not a place a wise man savors;

but nonetheless, an embarkation toward change.

Exact demands, one house rearranged;

to provide suffering blood, hot with rage;

that propels a nomad people to lifes new page,

and the dropping of unworthy affections.

The wandering in desert asserts clear direction;

one of obedience, hence; Calebs biting.

He looks at a land from afar, in which he should be abiding.

Mistakes made shall not be repeated.

Caleb is not interested in being defeated:

again.
