Save Us Our Lord

Oh my lord, When I see people: Beheading other people Selling women to slavery Executing men for being different Destroying your places of worship Obliterating civilizations Forbidding knowledge and Subjecting Thy creation to terror, There is only one thing for me to do: To Thee to pray Thus My eyes to Thee I turn in despair For To supplicate Thee, oh Lord, To save us from all those, around the world, who Believe to be Thy exclusive representatives and Who, the only ones are, Thy divine will to know Thus In Thy holy name, the blood of those of different Opinion shed Although Love in their hearts proclaim to harbor! © Demetrios Trifiatis 14 OCTOBER 2014 *One should not apathetic remain before the crimes committed!

Demetrios, A quite powerful and very meaningful and descriptive write here!! A very cruel time indeed in this world we live in. I similarly touched on some of these same themes in the early poem I posted, entitled: "The Unholy Ones," which touched on evil, debauchery and sacrilege spawned and fomented by ISIS in the world today. Recommend you take a read of that poem as well. It helps when we always turn to Almighty God, of course!! But the evil these people do is unholy and soulless! Best! Gary

God bless you, my dear sweet poet. God bless you!! We do need to get out of our complacency. Living in this part of the world, it is even more real to me the need to be aware of the atrocities that others are subjected to. 77777777777

You are in my TOP poet file, my dear poet. Well you know this fact...so you know my grading system. You write of lofty themes and you make us think and question. Thank you.

After listening to the news and the advances the enemies of the light have made, I was inspired to write this, thinking at the same time how close you are to these events! God forbid those people attack your country, or any neighbor country, for evil will stretch its wings even further! Thank you dear Eileen for your blessings and generosity, which(grading) is the least of my concerns here!
