A prayer sent in abstinence.
A collection of pebbles
taken for a ride
Strewn by waves
rolling back and forth
Against the tide
As the moon bops
Singing to the stars
while, mountains sleep
And oceans deep
are fed ever so gently
By raindrops
and some, times like this
By teardrops falling gently
from my eyes
Upon particles of sand
on the beach
Times, it seems i just can’t let it be
It’s nothing, cried
the wind to the sea
Watch me send a mighty wave
watch them fall
Helplessly scattered.
To stand resolutely, Before God.
We humans gather
Stand against
the approaching armies
Even as, murderous hordes
Senseless slaughter those around us
With little regard
for man or beast
A call to arms, for
Those who must submit, to fight
Struggle, to survive
for that’s the gist of it
If you stay away
from the fixer elixirs
To make a game of it
and get lost in the drift
While the puppet master pulls the strings
Attached to the wings of your imagination
And you hear the jester's call
Walk the plank suspended over hell
Decide it’s time to take the fall
Life is not a game when you die you lose it all
If you follow protocol rest a spell
get back in it
Play to win it even though we’re
Tired of living with the pain
even as, we see through
someone else’s lies.
So, no surprise
every mother’s child in creation,
whose calling is to promote good
in this mutual society,
making peace, among those whose moral compass allows misunderstandings
to be resolved peacefully
And mistakes to be
corrected social ably
Those who share the will to be civil
And let the desire, to overcome bad history,
Fuel the will to be a better man
Becoming part of the plan
to start again
And let justice come
to be a reality/to an end,
finding true meaning,
best to be resolved
Among, just people
Violence is a soul’s war against itself
And there can be no healing
Until it can find peace,
for no tally or accounting
Will ever bring back the dead
undo the killing void
Made when others near and dear to you
Are needlessly lost/paying the cost that’s due
When dealing with unscrupulous people
Whose ignorance towards/lack of understanding
Or are plain evil/leaving, in their wake
The intentional death/dealing pain and suffering
Loss of power, disadvantageous reckoning
Unable to recoup/restore past positioning
Lost yesterday’s sweat, blood, pains, strength,
Not only necessary to endure
But thrive every lifetime
like mind/spiritual inclined
As well as others,
in parallel must make war
Against the enemy, which, based
Upon ignorance, greed and hate,
malice
Driven before directed minions
Which relate only to violence
Even when you must die
To do it
