A River Redemption

A River Redemption

In this time of hate

and aggression

I am protected

revered, 

will be resurrected.

Blessed by the river

that flows to redemption. 

Our spirits are renewed

as we look to the sky

Our sins float away

carried into a state

of sweet surrender.

Holding our hands up in the air

as our oppressors point their guns

to steal what little we have left

so they can fatten 

their bloated bodies

which are cursed

for killing 

God’s creations. 

Fated to drown

their bloated bodies 

will be sinking down. 

My soul soars 

as my body floats

down the river 

of redemption.
