Verlena S. Walker Poet Verse

What We Gave

You know you use The Word destructively with only you in consideration.
What we gave was a worldview through parables of creation.
You only construct the positive for you to be paid.
What we gave was insight out of a cave.
Life was so dark that prayer is our only savior.
Souls were freed from abomination of your evil ways.
We gave what heals iniquity.
What we gave was a world that defeats wickedness.

When the world became obscure from your wrongful deeds, we gave the 
     people a greater belief.
The inquisition was via a better way.
Monotheistic Christianity became our faith.
We gave what God commanded us to give.
By covenant, we wrote our Rite.
We gave an infrastructure of empowerment for greater enlightenment.
This is our pilgrimage.
What we gave is a sacred place enshrined.
We honor God with body, soul, and mind.
Satan, you are denied.
