Fear Us The Fearless

They fear us
Make no mistake about it
Our propaganda resonates
With those who are bound to wake up
They have tried every way but up
144,000 revolutionaries among us
We're not about to leave our fates up
To a dying and evil regime, not today
Forget manaña, we must find our way
We create a visual, a goal
To advance the warrior within
Each one teach more family and friends
It's all lies, everything official that your told
Just don't give up on your soul
Let others see the spirit of happiness
Try not to stress on the process
They dish out numerous afflictions
All the violence and hunger without end
Exists because of the love of power
Show your strength and never bend
                                             never cowar
Except to the Creator of Nations
For the warrior each day begins
With our gratitude and salutations
We dance with the spirit of those
whom we have lost
Whom give us light in our darkest hour
Their tower of song a pillar of
of great height
Hold up your candles to watch more
hearts ignite
There is a cost and so
many complications
When we sit still apathetically
Apostles rise up and walk in the light
Your raised fists give me solace
Gets me prepared for the fight

A Prayer of the Nearly Shipwrecked

This is Your impression on me
A mark to depict my fall and resurrection
I abandon the usual suspects
To go into the wild silence with You

You are not making a suggestion
Not asking with a please
How many regrets and confessions
and none of them required by You

But for every impurity I am
                            down on my knees
When you were not nightfall, daybreak
Some days I sailed, some tossed
                                         on dark seas
I now have a broken mizzenmast
                                   because of You

Now You can use me without mistake
I cling to You alone without hesitation
There's only so much I can take
I give myself completely to You

It's You alone that I direct my adulation
My backbone is Your salvation
Can't You see my compass cannot
                       make more miscalculations?
I live, I learn, I love alone with You

I will not try to make the pain dull
On the chin I take life's devastation
Feel free to gather Your flock to my hull
YHWH, for all to hear, I declare thank You

Infinite times, thank You
I understand Father
Count on my determination
But, please stop waving red at this bull
for my heart yearns to be Your waystation
