Sara Kendrick Poet Quatrain

Genocide

His Spirit moves over me as I see
Something that could be good, will depeople
My tax dollars will go for genocide
Lord have mercy on this very great people

Not only will this cost pass on to states
God who loves earth how long will you abide
Lord have mercy on this very great people
My tax dollars will go for genocide

We won't be fit for the kingdom of God
This nation is to be an example
My tax dollars will go for genocide
Lord have mercy on this very great people

If we do good, centuple blessings come
When we do bad, God's grace can not abide
Lord have mercy on this very great people
My tax dollars will go for genocide

(First attempt at Mirrored Refrain..Thank you Jared for the challenge..Not an entry in the 
contest.)

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen March 28, 2010 at 3:34 AM Sara, You have certainly put into words the fears that have been running through my mind with this poem. Is it was because of sinful ways? Plenty of prayer and repentance, would change things. Shall we and see? (Soupmail) With Love and Concern, Dane Ann

John Freeman March 25, 2010 at 5:31 PM Sara the point is very plain, we are forced to pay tax that are spent on things we do not agree with. The truth is gloden. Thanks for your comment. Agape, Moses
