The Donkey of Balaam


Stupid jackass!
Clumsy donkey!
Lazy beast!
I am summoned by a king!

You embarrass me.
You crush my foot.
You thwart me.
I am summoned by a king!

I am Balaam,
Prophet, seer,
Wise among men
And summoned by a king!

But the donkey spoke:
I am your humble servant
Your loyal mount,
Even today, at this hour,
I am caring for you,
Protecting you,

For, I see His angel,
Hear His voice,
Obey His commands.
I too am summoned by a King!


(See Numbers 22)
