Caressed By the Lord




How does He know when I am 
hurting inside?

And He sends a fellow human
to me, that holds my soul in
their hands with a loving tide.

His forgiveness is endless!
His love, overwhelming divine.

Yet the sea of His creation turns
their hardened backs on Him.

His words neither followed, let
alone ever read.

And humanity, oh humanity!

So shocked when the streets
run crimson with bloodshed!

Seven hundred of His creations
will be slaughtered each day.

You, yes. you, with contest wins,
trophies and your beautiful quill.

Remember, reflect and be still!
For you were once one of the 
unborn, too!

Choose all you do wisely then,
according to His will.

Hello Panagiota … it is all to do with having faith and guidance. The daily slaughter is certainly the work of someone else - thank you Panagiota - Lindsay

Someone else= the demonic force that possesses their soul. Exactly. Add mental illness. And unless both are addressed? You know the answer.As poets we have the power of the pen to inspire, and not fear. With the talent here? It's vformidable! Panagiota.xx Appreciate your comment+ visit immensely!
