Celestrial PlightA Poem by harlem_knightWe were sinners That still ain’t stop God And we prayed and we prayed for a better life But we were too involved. We were sinners But that still didn’t stop God Each night we called on him to end all this Not knowing exactly where we started Forgiveness was unfamiliar Well, because we were sinners Who couldn’t tell the difference Between pois and poison With where we are and where we belong. We were puzzles short a few pieces We never really knew until we were near completion We were stars in a galaxy that didn’t care enough to follow us Is a star still a star when the planets pick their own direction? When our parents made us aware of our misdirection We became sinners, yes But that still ain’t stop God We reached for terrestrial lights Because we failed in comparison to that kind of bright and when we touched it, we laughed with scorched hands We left dust trails everywhere we traveled as if to say “we were here” Where ever here was… We moved on Letting lightyears pass us by We drift along Following the darkness to a home
