Faith Keeps Us Free

From jokers to aces...shooting sharp arrows of anger at Gods shepherds and His sheep With perditions plots and plans...with a million madness minds... STILL OUR FAITH IT KEEPS US FREE Jokers...laughing loud lunatics with red hot invisible pokers Stirring the embers and stoking the fires Hellbent like hyenas...bringing gore to the game Overdosed in overdrive...they just drive themselves insane Falling fast into the pits they dug for those who believe... STILL OUR FAITH IT KEEPS US FREE Jacks...coming on like thugs and gangsters Trying hard to beat us down with strong tongues that twist with terror Looking deep in dirty mirrors those mud monsters melt away Jumpin off their lives of lies...from the ledge they stain the streets Afterlife...they burn and freeze... STILL OUR FAITH IT KEEPS US FREE Queens...yeah they quiver with their power Sitting high up in their towers...they watch the world through wicked windows Spinning webs of soul seduction...sprouting fangs and jet black wings Singing songs of love and lust...set to snare the wondering sheep They seek what they can't have as they drown in their disease... STILL OUR FAITH IT KEEPS US FREE Kings...just like killers,they grab the good mans gold They snatch his bits of silver...they try to take his soul Now fury rushes through them like a jury that is hung Their judgments turn to justice from the king of kings above Tyrants thrones they fold...just like napkins crumpled up Still worshipping war gods that erase their thoughts with ease... STILL OUR FAITH IT KEEPS US FREE Aces... hit their targets just like supernatural snipers But when their bullets fall and fail their lacking days are numbered Running races just like rabbits...once the first they're now dead last Now the victims of their vengeance rise from graves to spew their wrath A million miles off their chosen path...countless sins and crimes now paid And the lines that lead to death are too long on judgement day... STILL OUR FAITH IT KEEPS US FREE Crooked cards of consequence...now their days and nights they end As we walk the straight and narrow we lay down and rest in peace Demons drop as end times come down And the devil sighs and screams... STILL OUR FAITH IT KEEPS US FREE

Another striking write! Very dramatic, depicting the wrongs of society and how they try to affect us, but faith keeps one free. Thanks for sharing and thank you for all your comments on my poems. Perhaps you should also read "Arrows (part 2)". Check out the conclusion I came to. Might be of inspiration to you. Caroline.
