A Free Verse Poem

As flowers lift their faces to the sun,
As leaves receive the touch of rain,
As lovers seek each other’s eyes,
I look to You.
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us!
I seek Your hand
For we are set upon, besieged, beset
With the scorn of the privileged,
With the contempt of the haughty, sneering,
Cruel ones who claim Your Name.
We look to You,
We cry to You,
Until You have mercy on us.
