My Passion

Poem
Holy Scriptures highlight the significance of iron in several verses. In the Old Testament, the verse “A land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills” (Deuteronomy 8:9) offers a remarkable insight into the understanding of metals during that period.

My Passion

In This Article

  • Iron as a resource of strength and utility and as a test of humanity’s ability to uphold justice. Its being “sent down” is both metaphorical, emphasizing its value as a divine provision, and literal, as modern science confirms its extraterrestrial origins.
  • Prophet David’s era indeed aligns with the historical transition from the Copper Age to the Iron Age, as supported by archaeological findings, Biblical accounts, and Divine Texts.

Being barely enough while overcoming all challenges
Desires pulling me in all directions
The first and the last advice in all of this
I have a job to do

Receiving accolades or battered with hatred
Regardless, I will change it, I will save it
At the 11th hour, never a dull moment 
It’s never enough
I have a job to do

Collecting almosts all the way to the top
Running, panting, almost giving up
While grabbing, dragging, shouldering nonstop
And tumbling over the final mark
'cuz I have a job to do

Any minute now the journey can end 
Or everything can be snatched
Yet, I can’t stop here, I can’t rest
My dream, my passion, my love
I have a job to do
