HOURGLASS

She tried to help but was dummified.

She saw and understood the wrong.

Her righteousness wouldn’t tolerate

So great an act without a match.

She fought, she screamed and sought

To verify how deep the scar’s inflict.

Behold, she was discovered

And yes, great price she paid

Although it’s been so long

And she found out upfront

He made her dummified

A believer of the absurd

Accepting the inane

Approving obnoxiousity

The term for it is brainwash

Some call it manipulation

But I call it violation

Of others’ purification

I vowed to save her

From this madness

To make it right

So back I went

Due to the promise

My heart remembers oh

How persistent she’d been

To fix before it fell apart

The gifted child received

But alas! She suffered loss

I can’t like a judge with gavel

Just rule her guilty for I saw

Her injury while shielding me

Such must count as just

Even Cesar gets what’s his

And she’s greater than Cesar

Wounded in battle birth-giver

You’re free, oh variant warrior

No longer bound to his evil ways

Come off this wretched battle ground

Lay down your bow, sword and arrow

Lift the WORD that shields mind-body-soul

No, Says she! One must continue spirit-feed

You’re free I say, “Take Jesus” SPIRIT utter!

Come forth from darkness into light

In this was born and raised, I was and

Here I’ll die without a care I give, says she

Oh what a blow to child who seek to save

A warrior who’s life was laid as bridge for her

The sand all flowed, there’s no time left

Child walks alone with God as warrior turns to salt
