THE WAR (a spoken word poem)


THE WAR-by Tony May

Days go by, people come and flee, love appears and vanishes in the blink of an eye.
Hope and pain, at times feels as if they were one and the same.
Anguish and sorrow, feelings like there is no point in waking up for tomorrow.
What happened to feelings of true love and bliss?
Where did all the hope go? When is it time feel free?
There was once a time when I could look up to the heavens and I would be relieved of my burden, but something must have happen between now and then. Because no matter how hard I try this agony just wont end. My compassion is dwindling, my faith has wavered, my life has no meaning, I don't know if I can go on on my own. But that’s just it! I cant go on on MY OWN, I cant do it MY SELF, I cant do it ALONE. I NEED help, I NEED Christ, I NEED brothers and sisters of the cross, I NEED guidance.
Fighting a war alone is a lost cause so what makes this spiritual war any different? What makes this fight and easy one, in which I a lowly man can take on Satan? If we expect to take on the forces of darkness we NEED fellow warriors of the light to stand side by side in this war. Our body armor of Righteousness dawned, our belt of Truth around our waist,our helmet of Salvation fitted, with our shield of Faith, and our sword of the Spirit raised up high for all of man to see! This fight is not about me this fight is not my own but once I excepted Christ Jesus as my savior, I agreed to be a warrior in His holy army! Christ builds us up, and Satan tries to break us down. These times when we are falling short and falling away from Christ theses are the times in which we need to stop and think twice. Satan is clouding our minds, and laying down road blocks, trying to make us stumble and and fall. But with the help of our brothers and sisters of the cross it is Satan who soon shall fall!
