John Loving Iii Poet Free verse

Foul Play

The year is ending
Let it gently close
The feeling of defeat and loss
Violently expand and implode
The true nature of people
Finally exposed
The power of deception
That with damage explode
The fears of what’s coming
By day they grow
The disbelief in reality
And what we really know
The judgement of God
Does this event show
Where will this leave us
Where violent winds blow
Is it too late to repent
Their wicked deeds
It’s time for mending 
While souls to God plead
The year is ending
Please, please dear God
give us what we need
