Jacob's latter

Jacob’s Ladder

Jacob saw the world 
with all its misery and pain
he called upon his god
and asked him to explain

God took him to his ladder
reaching to the sky
he ordered him to climb the ladder
he never told him why

So Jacob climbed the latter
but much to his dismay 
the horror just increased 
as he went along his way

With each and every step he took
the further he could see
the world was full of suffering
with pain and misery

I can’t go on he cried to god
it’s just too much to bear
have faith in me, can’t you see
I will take you there.

In time he reached the heavens
and next to god he stood
look down upon the earth
and saw that it was good.

Never be to quick to judge
every thing you see
your point of view has a lot to do
with what the meaning be.
