The sound of wild horses
echoed terribly
through the weak walls
of the proud northern kingdom of Israel
Unable to defend themselves
Assyrian sickening horror
fell upon Hoshea and all his guard
Little they thought
their lives were going to be spared
Dust, blood and anguish
was all Israel saw before their expulsion
The Northern Kingdom
was never going to see their land
in the years to come
Judah on the other hand
never paid attention to the obvious signs
despite the few good kings
that brought revival to the south
despite the good reformations
they failed to see the warning
And that dark day came
Jeremiah's words came true
and the rage of Babylon fell like thunder
Assyria was out of the game
but the Chaldeans never relented
and got into the land with no remorse
