Poem
O' Broken Heart, What Shall All This Now Bring Burn away, festering skies filled with pain! Cast forth burning embers onto the bleating flock! Let loose, sky demons to purge this dark place And flying beasts to punish all that complain! Give vengeance over to its satisfying lusts, And cheer those that in darkness aid and mock. No saving dawn will cool this raging hot fire! Nor calvary arrive in sweet time to save the flock! Unchained beasts will eat happiness away Replacing with torment, misery and sad pleas! Give vengeance over to its satisfying lusts, And cheer those that in darkness aid and mock. O' sacred revenge, stab the innocence of tomorrow! Send darkness and plagues to scorch this sad flock! Let loose demons to destroy the young and weak And dance upon death,deep pain and sweet sorrow! Give vengeance over to its satisfying lusts, And cheer those that in darkness aid and mock. O' broken heart, what shall all this now bring! Burning to death the innocent people of the flock! Destroying sweet life and beauty of this place How sad that this evil you now stoop to sing! Giving in to vengeance to satisfy sad lusts, And cheering those wretched that aid and mock. May divine grace and mercy heal raging pain! Cast forth burning love for sweet innocent flock! Let loose, angels to heal and renew this place And flying comforters to give mercy in his name! Destroy this vengeance that satisfies your lusts, Heal those that in darkness would aid and mock. R.J. Lindley March 5th, 1977 Note- Another oldie from my private journal. Today just seemed a good day to openly post this. I am always torn on sharing these private writes. But the idea that its better to give than to receive usually wins out..
