overcomeA Poem by RuseInexreeling from the feeling from a shot in the dark from the hand of a friend added to the top of an already hurting frame kicked by the harsh of what i hear and see of what’s going on in our world who can sustain keep from falling in and swallowed by the din of night and forget what is right who can endure outside of knowing what’s going on to bury oneself in the stillness of outside in the thickets and the groves the open meadows and the hills with the mountains standing guard to keep one’s grip while bleeding in the face of every occassion while the repetition of yesterday the evil deeds done in the dark though some play in plain sight since time immemorial, the unseen routine goes on and on while your insides scream for change of relief that someone might understand the sound of your voice and what you really want to say is what they too feel to hear them say, yes, there’s more to this life than food and drink and entertainment let’s talk about . . . i will live, yeah, mark, my friend, i will walk by faith the fire darts hurt like hell the lies make me dizzy drunk but the everlasting truth is in me his spirit is strong especially when i am weak inner joy springs up within my prayers they flow out like waterfall torrents kill my flesh but never my spirit while those that do evil let them while those that do good he who endures to the end will win a crown of life i will preserve i will keep though this day my joints throb my teeth ache as much in their sockets of what was done against and being done, to the children of the light in this nation across the world though i still and more each day walk feeble my knees tremble much i will burn the flame of faith © 2019 RuseInex |
