GOD! So many battles
I think
how confused I am
new technology and old wars
wearying me
pain more constant than passion
ripping apart my rhyme
and reason seems left in yesterday
HALLOWED BE THEY NAME
JESUS! World so out of control
I feel
a blowout in my soul
pleading for a patch, a mending
to understand. Why? WHY?
I can rejoice at a man’s death
yet refuse to pluck a jasmine
to watch it die imprisoned in a vase
THY KINGDOM COME
LORD! So much to ponder
I need
to see down the road
something more than blood
paving freedom, I sweat
the grime of terrorists
falling on unhealed scars
and victory smiles covering disillusion
THY WILL BE DONE
CHRIST! World needing Peace
I stand
embracing glory
understanding the need for war
detesting the need for war
I pray. I weep. I pray
far from stained glass windows
seeking, seeking - seeking TRUTH
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
