The Lord Is My Portion - Lamentations 3: 24
In all of life's challenges aplenty
there is one source of conviction
a deep-filled knowledge of God
to hold you together is no fiction
Be aware of satan's devilish lies
stand firm with God's holy book
holding fast to your Lord alone
know His peace and presence is no fluke
Never listen to the worldly voices
that try to tempt you away
you know that

Lamentations
Sackcloth and ashes
blood and steel clashes
carbon dust burnt at last
digging the umber crust
sackcloth and ashes lie
as time passes into the future
it is written on the walls,
something cracks n crawls
the morality of passing
they have girded themselves
in sackcloth n ashes, secondhand lashes
blood of fear in emerald eyes tear
the aetherium

Therefore I Hope In Him - Lamentations 3: 22-24
Being not consumed we stand true
only by God's merciful grace
this is the God of eternity supreme
we receive compassion from His face
Compassion is the watchword from God
for the Lord provides never to fail
in His promises always surely certain
trust His sovereign hand even from gales
Always new never turns old
waken up every morning bright
great is the faithfulness of

Lamentations
On a ledge and in trace of paths to incandescent tunnels away from illusive digression.
Voices fade overhead into narrowing echo of screams amid mild depression.
I drown in the shadows to escape the mean pressure from society and peers combined.
A Judgement of guilt and inequity, that doesn’t seldom need to be redefined.
Provocative words full of rage

Lamentations
Sobbing withheld in silence and emotions oftentimes feels like their related to each other. Fears, weaknesses, mistakes. Everyone seems to have their own issues and
one's soul burning like charcoal upon a fire causing confusion, griefs, disappointments,
blood, sweat and tears

Lamentations of the Heart
1.
The skies so seemed blue,
The sun was the only entity
My eyes knew.
The forest was hollow,
Embraced by light,
It welcomed the little heart,
With a charming smile.
There was no worry,
Of the emerging night,
The lamps were never extinguished,
The fire kept burning,
If the dark wanted to stay.
A good life indeed, so ages ago,
I now see the clouds emerge
With a

Lamentations of the Lately Bereaved
When I found you in bed, you had just died.
I wept; my grieving went mostly unsaid;
you clearly were gone—I was horrified!
As you lay still in bed, utterly dead,
the huge shock I felt could not be denied,
as tears gave

Lamentations of the Apostle John
After the great and holy ascension
John travelled to the temple in contemplation
A pharisee called Arimanios came
Planted sand dust into his chest in damnation
John escaped into a lifeless desert
As John was crying forth two rivers in his heart
Jesus came to him and asked his brother
“John, why are you doubting as if drifting apart?”
Jesus Christ told the

Waiting On the Lord Is For Our Good - Lamentations 3: 25
The will of God can be hard to know
God tells us to come upon our knees
telling Him our innermost desires
to plead for His action crying, please
But sometimes He seems silent
and we wonder asking just why?
His purposes are past finding out
for God knows everything before we die
God is a good God, His word says so
all His

Her Lamentations
She dwells in a cavern,
a caliginous cavern built for her;
She knows no day~
ever since she dwelt there in.
Never known anyone
except for the sullen silhouette
that frequently visits her;
Never known any sound
except for the echoing dirge
that blends with her lamentations.
Her screams become sullen
for no one hears her
except the dismal ebony walls
that surround her~
Her voice

Lamentations
Lend me your inner ear
Can’t you hear it....
The resounding wailing
In my head.....
Don’t you understand
It is because my only child is dead
6 months, 1, 2, years may pass
This new existence is
Still hard to grasp
Even behind my stoic demeanor
The screeching in my mind
Never seems to die down
What a confinement of insanity

Lamentations 1
How deserted lies the city, once so full of people!
How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces, has now become a slave.
Bitterly she weeps at night, tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers, there is no one to comfort her.
All her friends have

Plebeian Lamentations
Tried and tested by a virus, novel
I sit by the hearth of my lowly hovel
Taxed some more, without relief
Our kings, of their infallibility, grow in belief
Stimulus packages to the Lords
Home based care for the lowly sods
Dynastic games they play
The masses can only moan and pray

You lie there like unleavened bread
A vestige of quaint repose
Pall box lined with a satin thread
Dapper in tailor-made clothes
An errant
