In My Mind

My soul cries out for peace without fear,
In a world without the casualties of war,
My heart bleeds down with streams of tears,
For the down trodden, hopeless, weak and poor,
In my mind, all souls are free,
Cries of hunger are fed with good cheer,
Feasts and charities are given to thee,
On a daily basis from year to year,  
My love spills out like a waterfall,
Flowing into the sea,
My heart spreads wide as the wings the Macaw,
Soaring so effortlessly,
My spirit screams as a banshee wails,
For impending death to find,
My heart is pounding as a hammer on nails,
For The Christ within my mind.
