At Three | End at Four

The darker day,
The darkest the night.

The sadness descends,
Anyone watching my plight?

My mind wanders,
Looks for question unanswered.

They remain stagnant,
And welcome the darkness.

Trying to refrain,
With thunderous energy spent.

Not the body,
But purely the mind.

A battle unseen,
Smile on the outside.

The storm begins,
The piercing light approaches.

Darkness I prefer,
The light I need.

And this battle,
Beneath will it subside.

He

The shaken spirit; harden through the ashes of the innocent,
Released into a World of perfection, or is it?

The World that pushed him into the alley of sorrow,
Numb to the core, he walks with feet on floor and a heart of stone.

Revenge of a torn flesh and scares of a strengthen heart, now begs for silence,
The silence - his poison and his antidote.

Convicted a murdered, but born a son,
These tears won’t dry soon, these wounds refute to heal.

Money, sloth and greed, they chose him as a prey,
With smiles on their faces, crosses around their necks, they hid the knife against their backs.

The night he fails to forget,
Innocent blood on innocent hands.

Law blinded by evidence; evil wins, blameless victim takes shape.
His spirit now shaken, but will it ever break?

Today he stands alone in what is defined as freedom,
He rebukes it, his innocence is his freedom.

His freedom lies now in murdering the lies.
His freedom lies in embracing his innocence,
His freedom lies in closing his eyes to the denunciations of the World.

A World that defines how freedom is,
A World that appreciates the power of the greedy and shuns the innocent.


Inspired write-up listening to the song A Martian Winter. This post speaks about how a son is wrongly convicted in murdering his widowed mother by his family. Today, he is released from the prison; he rejects the World's perception about freedom and all he thirsts and clings on is to his innocence - perceived as self-righteous innocence by the World!

Sacrifice

I always wondered - GOD why would you want me to give up something I like?
GOD does it really please YOU to see me give what I like?

I thought about it and there was no answer,
I prayed for it, but all looked in vain.

I never thought GOD could be so mean,the ever-loving GOD,
I complained and frankly even skipped my prayers in disbelief.

My probing mind kept drifting away from GOD,
Like a child, I was angry with my FATHER.

Just than came my kid; the apple of my eye,
Her smile so bright; her face my sunshine.

She came to tell me she loved the cupcakes I'd got,
I'd given her with all my love, the best - the very best.

She said, "Daddy, thank you for the cupcakes, if it wasn't for you, I would never relish them."
"I can't buy you any...", she said. "But I've tried doing something very special."

Just then she opened her tightly held fist,
A golden wrapper peeped, and smiled back at me.

Thought she relished some of them, my angel saved one for me,
Her mouth still watered, but my joy was more important, a sacrifice she wished to make me see smile.

A sacrifice she made; it made me cry and smile at the same time,
I thanked GOD for this day; I looked at the crucifix.

GOD had answered my prayer, HE has spoken through HIS child,
HE spoke through my daughter, the angel that sacrificed the cupcake I gave her.

I realized how it feels to be the one at the receiving end of a sacrifice,
It gave me joy, it made me smile, it made me love, it answered my prayer.

AMEN!

Rise Today!

Moments of loneliness
You feel the breath of darkness surround you…
You will rise to fight; you will not fail
Arise to a better tomorrow, an assured brighter day…
All your tears will dry, all the sadness will fade
You will live, and smile again…
You cannot let this darkness win
You are almost there; it appears to turn grey…
Hold on, hold on, the ALMIGHTY stands
HIS strength will light you up…
And then you will fly again
Where the eagles soars, you will roar on those summits…
Rely on hope, rely on the peace.
You feel that you search the light
It’s now the light that searches you…
Stand still, hold on to yourself
You have made it, you have nearly won this impossible battle
Don’t give up now, you will conquer this storm and rise!
