Poetry: I SAY A PRAYER

August 7, 2020

 

I SAY A PRAYER

 

I bite my lip as another wail hits me,

the pain and agony ever stronger.

Cringing at the thought of what has come to be,

I close my eyes and pray this is just a dream..

Our world has become full of nothing.

Nothing but bad news and broken promises.

Our happiness taken away by the unseen,

we struggle and seethe as we lose our senses.

Even I have become reduced to rubble.

I am slowly enticed by the call to rabble.

Unwilling to accept what has come to be,

what it is doing to you and me?

I cry inside as another wail jolts me.

Helpless, hopeless, and unable to move - checkmate.

There is where I ought to be,

yet here I am stuck and bemoaning my fate.

Lord what has become of our world?

Trials, tribulations, and evil are amuck.

And in the deafening silence of my prayer,

I am reminded that I must not waver.

Pray, pray, and pray some more.

Pray like you've never prayed before.

And in a world full of nothing,

You are my everything.
