RESURRECTION
RESURRECTION
the sun rises to colors pale
in my world of affliction
my body broken
my spirit on razor's edge
I bear my existence and endure
as best my nature will allow
I compromise to God’s betrayal
and suffer the loss of human dignity
my soul bound to its own agony
freely speaks its crucifixion
yet no one dies of a spirit broken
a heart in sunder does not stop beating
the mind does not seek insanity
for the truth it knows
No pain can steal my fire
No reality my light
No treachery my hope
