riqui velasquez Poet Rhyme

Lamp on a Hill

Let my Lord help you pass the hopelessness
  and wage battle against the demon
  that  forces blade to wrist.
Let Him lay you gently down
  upon still waters and place softly
  to your troubling mind, a kiss.

Let my Lord rise you from the mat you lay 
  that forces needle to vein.
Let Him heal what poison race through
  your body to bring you close,
  to where He reigns.

Do not thrash! Be quiet. Be still.
  In the silence behold, the Lamp on a hill.

Let my Lord temper your evil thoughts against neighbors
  who build rage and hate forcing
  hand to gun.
Let Him gather forgiveness in abundance 
  which opens your fists and lessons the weight,
  bringing understanding to why he hung.

Let my Lord place His hand over your troubled ears
  that hears words from false prophets, demons and men
Let Him be your fortitude that calms your seas.
  Start a prayer with Heavenly Father and finishes Amen.

Do not thrash! Be quiet. Be still
  In the silence behold, the Lamp on a hill.
