Quench My Thirst

QUENCH MY THIRST I am thirsty for Thy Righteousness, oh Lord For that I Thee, on my knees Beseech, The words of Thy wisdom do not Deny me For To quench my thirst I wish In this Endless desert of injustice Where Thy law I miss! © Demetrios Trifiatis 11 May 2013

May God hear your cry and quench your thirst! When Does God almighty hear your cry is the question I constantly ask. Because "Endless desert of injustice" widens every single second. Beautiful thoughts once again from my dear Demetrios

Your thoughts fly heavenward, my dear poet. This is an amazing write....you capture every noble sentiment so well. :) Amazing...There will always be injustice until His kingdom is ushered in. We need to be faithful.

Yes, unfortunately injustice will be here! However we, the few, have to fight for justice and with HIS help some good will come out of it! Thank you!
