Nine Years

A religious poem: based on a family struggling with life and death

You speak sinfulness
To the word
You should flee
For I heard
His shouts and screams
I heard all his pleading
She has a witness
Someone who did see
Memory tip top shape
For all of his needs
Driving ok, running ok
Traveling ok, eating, ok
Severing him day and night
Now you come
Taking her life
Now your envy
Seems to be
Your only plight
They write for their errors
For society not to see
You suffer now
Vulturious behavior
Like standing over a child
Who is straving
Death soon to be
In sin now you grive
Forgiveness
Comes to those who seek
So when you remember
The screams
The hole they left in his back
You will bow down to her
Treating her like a queen
No word of stupidity
No word of gossip be
Even then I may not
Be able to help you
With the pain of your
Own greed
Like his wails
Now become yours
It is only in
His forgiveness
Will you be
Saved and set free
Only you can stop this now
Only you can make the change
Be aware
Learn to care
Put it all straight
Listen and pray
Before it is to late
