The Distress (Letter to the Editor)

My eyes peruse the abuse

from the tip of an unbeliever’s pen.

We shall counter that blade

with flaming swords

holding back

their tide of triumph.

The enemy shall not overcome.

Funny, how quickly I run out to the paper,

funny, the faith I have

that He will do as He says

as I meet Him at His word…

Yet I can’t remember

to read the daily Bible passage

on the bottom corner

of the same page.
