Poem Title:
Poem
From the heart these words are sown Borrowed from the word and on loan Follow along as you will read In turn these rhymes your soul they’ll feed In an attempt to pen like Cowper and Knox And share these thoughts from a bag of rocks And type them in line perfect and straight About the Beatitudes for now here’s eight. The first on the list as we seek and dive Starting in Matthew and in chapter five Regarding the nature of poor in spirit Is about serving others if you can hear it Secondly lives have been shattered and torn Our sins hurt others and we neglect to mourn We fail to extend a recompense As we rationalize our odious offense Next is the call and nature of the meek But do not confuse it does not mean weak It suggest to be gently, courteous and kind But the world disregards and put it behind Where are those who hunger and thirst To bring about justice for those dispersed In what ways can we help those in need And help the poor and those who bleed Mercy it appears to not even exist Men wage war with a hard clenched fist Grace is grounded in total forgiveness Without it our souls die in darkest sickness And out of the heart the mouth dost speak But the pure in heart and those who seek With the motives of the mind brought to light Are those who shine like stars burning bright Fortunate are the peacemakers in the land That make amends and lower their hands It is never ever wise for us to take delight In those who would prefer to start a fight Finally these attitudes come with a twist Expect to be persecuted but don’t resist Challenge the world and the system This lyric came from the Kings true wisdom By:beardedJarhead
