Valsa George Poet Kyrielle

O God, Have Mercy

Sun, a flaming ball in the sky
Waterlogged lands have long gone dry
The soil of the land, turned crusty
Oh God, on us, have some mercy!
	
Scorched in the fury of the sun,
Are hot humid days, with no fun
In sultry heat, men go crazy	
Oh God, on us, have some mercy!

Thirst is the only thing we feel
Under torrid heat our heads reel
Without water, we feel dizzy
Oh God, on us, have some mercy!

Just as water saves life on land
Your grace is needed for our mind
Don’t leave our souls dry and hazy
Oh God, on us, have some mercy!

Tom Cunningham August 10, 2022 at 5:52 PM A much needed prayer in these times of climate change all caused by mankind. We've got another heatwave hitting the UK in the next few days. Tom

Anil Deo August 10, 2022 at 2:27 AM Sister Valsa G., Wonderful indeed. I was thinking of one yesterday ...divine-incidence? Unlike the variation on LORD HAVE MERCY, & the 8-syllable discipline . The topic, prescient. A call to arms

Sotto Poet August 9, 2022 at 5:23 PM This really is a magnificent piece of writing, dear Valsa. In point of fact, climate change threatens the basic fabric of the globe itself. Therefore, supplication is the final component of this lovely and useful oxymoron.

Gordon Mcconnell August 9, 2022 at 4:22 PM Lovely piece penned so excellently Valsa, hope all is good with you, blessings,Gordon

Silpika Kalita August 9, 2022 at 11:25 AM Truly, global warming is running the very essence of earth. So a relevant beautiful euphemism ends up with prayer. Splendid share... Hugs

Rico Leffanta August 9, 2022 at 10:47 AM God does have a sense of humour, as those who thirst are rewarded with a mirage . . . . Aloha!

Vijay Pandit August 9, 2022 at 5:46 AM Graceful poem, Valsa, longing for mercy in these days of intense heat. I like the rhythm of repeating line. Best to you.

Victor Buhagiar August 9, 2022 at 12:52 AM A pious prayer much appreciated dear Valsa. I need more than some mercy.
