Patriotic Hurt
I HURT inside because
My country is not healthy.
My HURT does not cause me to
Be unhealthy; nor does it diminish
My patriotic zeal. In stead, appealing
To the source much higher than anything
Else that I could bring to the table, my
HURT rallies me to pray more for my country.
When my HURT is allowed
To be intermingled with hope
And touched by God in prayer,
There is the prospect of a river flow,
Or waves of resolutions rushing to the
Shores like ocean tides and filling my heart
And soul with expectation. And therein lies
The anticipation of my nation's healing.
