AMIDST IT ALL

the tides most times rises over us 

odds stands not in our favor 

rain falls only on our roof

amidst it all, we rise  

rise against the storm 

dane smokeless gun aimed at us 

gunpowder kegs replaced for our sit 

our instincts beckon but we choose to ignore 

from the bloodless war they wage against us 

plucking herbs and making potions 

concocting and chanting incantations 

yet still, we sleep peacefully like never before 

we slip and twist our ankles 

bruised our knees and gain blisters 

still we rise and patch ourselves back up 

there’s more to what meets the eyes 

ours is a case of unending grace 

saved by his stripes and healed through and through 

for our prayers are never enough 

amidst it all, we are blessed beyond comprehension
