Poetry Sunday ~ The Voice of the People

Jer. 17:23 “But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.”

The Voice of a People (rewrite)

Divided nation defined by complexion
Giving people of color their own little section
We’ve taken blood and changed it to blue
To suit what’s befitting in all that we do.

Changing the prism that reflects amber light   
Cannot be shaken amid darkened night
Believers are ones who bear heavy burden
To stand together as people are hurting

Sharing the Word through love rearrange
the hearts of men for hatred exchange
Caring for people too feeble to take action
The light we emit gives trails to our traction

As your somber soul grieves, God has a plan
For nations, the living, the slain and for man
Bring forth to the world, the difference, the spark
The part of Light that shadows the dark.
