STORM AND SILENCE: Almighty (Lily)

I do not concede,

won't ever.

My determination set in the eyes of the Almighty. 

The Almighty.

On the eyes of my Almighty. 

Eras of suppression, oppression, depression, 

forced on a people 

born to be equal of the same Almighty.

The challenge to rid earth of its vile disunity 

born from the mute voices of mothers,

 daughters, grandmothers, sisters. 

Their healing denied,

their sorrows multiplied. 

None the wiser, they tarry in misery, 

subjected by these greater beings; 

each their own 'Almighty.' 

But I'd never concede, 

won't ever. 

My life bound by the very body given to me, 

offered to some almighty that he may save me from myself?

I am riled by the burning desire to purge; 

purge all the 'mightys of their own blissful ignorance, 

purge the blind serfs of this preposterous doctrine, 

purge the earth of its demise. 

Yet, while I declare myself a vociferous warrior 

on the frontline of this pitiful war, 

I find myself falling reluctantly into the age old pattern 

of subjecting myself to an almighty. 

Here I am, shamelessly offering myself 

to some almighty, 

no. My Almighty;

not that he may save me from myself, 

but from the cruel, sadistic world He created. 

A slave in man's shoes, 

in man's world but 

whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High 

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Still, I don't concede, 

won't ever. 

This is not surrender! 

It is but a plot to purge; 

purge all the 'mightys of their own blissful ignorance, 

purge the blind serfs of this preposterous doctrine, 

purge the earth of its demise. 

For the Almighty himself said, 

"Sit at My right hand 

 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet." 

At least in the face of my Almighty, 

that is the insincere song I sing.
