Samuel The Lamanite Prophesied To The Nephites



And behold, a man appeared among the Nephites, like to those of old.
He was a Lamanite named Samuel, and his proclomation was bold.
"Unless ye repent, and turn to The Lord, ye shall be utterly destroyed!
Wicked Nephites and their great riches are cursed, and The Lord, annoyed!

Ye wicked people have rejected and stoned prophets that were sent.
Even worse shall befall those of you who now delay to repent.
Ye evil one are encircled by demons; yea, by numerous hordes.
In iniquitous pleasures, ye seek your happiness and rewards."

John Hugo Cullen

Born 01 June 1940 at Roswell, New Mexico. Baptized 15 April 1972 in Spring Creek north of Cookeville, Tennessee, at Bend of the River. Ordained a high priest of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints on 04 July 1976 by the late Robert N. Brady.I believe that the standard works, or scriptures, of the church are written by prophets, by revelation and are holy and sacrd. I feel an obligation to share them all, one daily. The only contribution of mine is to turn the prose into poetry so it can be submitted as poetry. I do not claim credit for the basic ideas, but I accept blame for all my mistakes. Please respect the sources, and please be brutally honest, with details, to help the message bearer's improvement!Some may think that using the scriptures for inspiration means that originality is missing. In my poem archive you can also find non-scriptural works, on a variety of topics. Some have been selected, by editors, for publication in The United Kingdom and United States. more…
