Confronting Trouble Poem by Gerry Legister

It takes courage and bravery
You can feel inside so deeply,
When confronting the terrible
atrocities of this world's evil.
Awakening alarms open your eyes,
when confronting that kind of demise.
How another human being,
Cannot find refuge for the perishing.
Who will rise and stop the war
This strain of turmoil has gone far.
And that pain aches in your heart,
When you see, nations drifting apart.
Create an ocean before them to cross,
They step down into the sea of an abyss.
Only Christ we knew to walk on water,
Because he owns the streams and river.
As our hearts consider one another
barely hearing the truth softly whisper,
Opinions crumble, politicians stumble
It takes courage to confront trouble.
Every stone or pebble voices were thrown
not all are smooth and weather worn,
You grow old and tired, to see places ruin
By troubles you thought had long been.
left abandoned, and never to return,
to demonstrate their wild nature again,
in an earthly garden where flowers blooms,
Many heroes lay in forgotten tombs.
Some epitaph is written in bloody silence
Speak to our hearts of remembrance.
gently erase their deeds when the sun rises,
a new generation wake up to witness.
for the first time after our dream,
and realize where we have been living.
