The Weak Will Rise

The winners are the losers If they're not on the side of right One day they'll have to answer When their sins are brought to light They had their celebration That will be their only prize All the things they have hidden We will come to realize Some history may be written But it doesn't make it true The powerful may write it We are controlled by the few The losers are the winners Revelation of God's plan Nothing has been forgotten Truth's not decided by man The weak will rise like Eagles Their tears will be wiped away A World filled with injustice Will be transformed in a day

You speak the truth Richard! I am somewhat reminded of The Lord of the Rings with the "rising like Eagles" part... We are living in dark times waiting for the promise of light... Great message!

Richard, superb use of analogy/comparison to paint an excellent picture of hope for humanity. My hat's off to both your writing style and obviously, unbridled faith. Lastly, thanks for dropping in and checking out a few of my own. I'm sure to be reading more of your poetry in the future. Cheers, Terry

Richard! I LOVE the verse you are referring to in Isaiah 40: 30 & 31:But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles. This is a fantastic write of faith and hope! Amen! Loved it!
