From my first book
Today in our nation
Stands an Esau generation
Impatient and demanding
Instant gratification
Doing whatever feels right
Deciding with their eyes
And just like Esau of old
They choose what is not wise
For one single meal
Esau sold his birthright
Left value for pleasure
Nearsighted eyesight
What was seen in Genesis
Is seen again in the present
In our schools and colleges
In our youth and adolescents
A way that seems right
They forsake all morality
In standing against evil
They have chosen neutrality
The Esaus are everywhere
Lines vanished in the sand
Selfish and self seeking
They fill up our land
Only living in the now
No thought to what was then
Veiled from true wisdom
Blinded again and again
They reject correction
Experiment with pleasure
No limits or boundaries
No weights or measures
Hidden are the Jacobs
We only see Esaus
Throwing off all rules
Freedom from the laws
And in this crucial hour
Stand up for what is right
Don't become an Esau
Don't sell your birthright
