War Cry

World's troubles reflected in a dark sky
Days and nights now blurred fears quantify
My ears pick up artillery in war cry
Depression rolls in I try to deny
All my thoughts grow befuddled I belie
Tears held in so many puddles I cry
Emotions all muddled up in deep sighs
My eyes hollow my heart beats amplify
On divine intervention I rely!

Carol, truly God is large and in charge and we are blessed by the very best. Hard to see that sometimes through the vale of tears and chaos of this world but once again you have opened up that gate to hope through prayer - through our merciful God. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!

Carol, I like your summary line. You spotlight so many troubles but give the one solution which will ease every single one. Great example of the new mono-rhyme form.
