OF PRIDE AND PROMISE

Folder: 
JOURNAL#15

I don't want to know the circumstances

nor do I wish to address the further meant

of any pain

life gets clawed to death enough as it is

by the foolish chances

while acidic opinions fall upon our unprotected

heads

carried down like the once so pure rain

the mean spirited grow stronger

as their pray, the weak

quickly stumble to fall

the issues to address manage to grow

longer and longer

why, if I had the choice of any dream

it would simply be to save ourselves from the

ruin of us all

no more, no less

and as always to be able to walk forever forward

and be blessed

this I lay down pride and promise for my Lord.......

shaking my shocked head at how terrible the world can seem sometimes and how I personally do not subscribe to such doings.
