A Plea To Heaven's Throne Room

When empathy 
                                             steals joy,
                                      My pen too heavy 
                                            to employ;
                                    My tears can't stop
                                              a war...
                                 So why am I now writing for?
                                       Silence so abounds,
                                      Far from where war 
                                           vanquished
                                        all joy's sounds.
                                      Why do I own this
                                              Heavy 
                                              Heart?
                                      What good does it?
                                         To play a part?
                                    To heal the needless 
                                            suffering...
                                      What could it offer;
                                           But to bring
                                      A plea to heaven's 
                                         throne room...
                                            pleading!
                                    For those suffering,
                                          Or bravely
                                           bleeding.
                                     God, we can not 
                                         understand!
                                   Please raise a shout,
                                   A Word; Command.
                                        Bring peace! 
                                    Oh Lord, we beg 
                                            Thee; 
                                            come!
                                          On earth: 
                                             Love!
                                           Healing!
                                       Your Kingdom!
                                          
                                            Amen

This is available in this moment, this is the reason Jesus came , this wicked world is the same from the beginning and getting worse, if we could be good on our own and enter His kingdom then Jesus death was in vain,. We need the spirit that He said He would send to dwell within us to mold one into a child of God, just very few that will give up this life to gain eternal life and treasure,

BJ I pray and hope the Lord heres your prayer. Remember my friend all things happen for the good of God, and he is in control. Many people ask Lord why havent you come yet to stop all this madness? The answer I always hear is he is patient and Longsuffering. He wants as many people saved before he comes back giving the unsaved more time, to be saved. His timing keeps those yet unsaved from going to hell. God bless you for writing this excellent write.

'A plea to heaven's throne room' - sounds like just what is needed right now, BJ. A touch of Divine Intervention sure would look good right now. Nice penning, Gershon

Powerful poem, BJ. Powerfully emotive sentiments pray-- to end the killing and the suffering. Solemn voice of your poem resonates throughout. May the prayer raise a shout--a command to bring peace--as you say.
