Thy Silence Roars
©copyright 2009 Bonita M Quesinberry
Oh, Lord, Thy silence roars pain within my soul
as my inner spirit cries out in anguish,
"Please let me hear Thy voice of many waters,
as before, Thy thunders to my pleas, my wish;
yet I know Thou didst warn me of their turnings,
Thy Truth shunned, to become trapped in nets like fish:
Satan's version of truth to be their demise."
Oh, Lord, Thy silence roars pain within my soul
as my inner spirit cries out in anguish,
"Please, reassure me once more of my task's goal;
despite saying, 'Many will not believe you;
the world their road void of a personal toll,
providing room to sin without sacrifice,
killing Christ again for Satan's wicked droll.'"
Oh, Lord, Thy silence roars pain within my soul
as my inner spirit cries out in anguish,
"Please let me hear Thy voice of many waters,
as before, Thy thunders to my pleas, my wish.
Is there not enough time left to turn them back,
to rip the deadly snares holding them like fish
fearfully waiting for the slaughter to come?"
Oh, I know, Lord, I know deep within my soul
where my inner spirit cries out in anguish,
God said, "They won't repent of sins draped in gold
as they blame thee and curse God for their losses."
Oh, Lord, Thy silence roars pain within my soul
as my inner spirit cries out in anguish,
"They know not what they do!"
—————— They all have been told.
I weep, I weep, tears flow unabated.

good
I like more and more every time I read it. It has a hold on me. Y ou know I don't care for long poems. This one was long but as if you removed a hunk of verses now it is not too long -
very good
AAI Liked the way there were divisions in the work and how lines starting with Ohm Lord devided the work into sections. with uneven numlber of lines in between the Oh, Lord lines? I did note that these lines were4, 6,7,8 and maybe other number of lines apart. wwwww
Would you please tell me about this? -
AMEN!
I thought this was just wonderful. What I especially like is the use of "Thy silence roars ..." Many will not understand how that could be.
God Bless Howard

Gripping Poetry, Sis
My your prophetic poetic gift shines here as you expound in rhyme on familiar warnings given how people will not tolerate truth in these days, and to their own destruction...Continue penning this way...May your voice be heard and may we all respond...
write my dear sis

Thanks for sharing, be blessed in all you do.
