Oh no no

Poems for the soul

Oh no no

You can't get me no matter how hard you try. Death has knocked at the door many times. The smoky haze of the pain of fear. Hooking and jabbing in the sparing ring of life.

Oh no no, you can't come near. Faith is greater don't you know and no matter how many times we get knocked down on that road to Life - a man died and his Blood began to flow in the hard streets we all know - to set the captives free. You can't steal our faith even through the ravages of time.

You roam the streets like a lion looking for prey but cannot touch our souls. Our commitment has been made and the price for us has been paid. Your claws have no hurt and your jaws no bite. Your wrath will soon be turned against yourself. No more accusing, no more seducing, all your schemes will be known. 

As the dust swirls on the desert floor, you try to strike fear in our hearts that we are stranded, defeated, and cannot exist any more. Death is your language that you weave so sly. Like the snake that you are, your head will be crushed to slither no more. No more lies, deceit or curse will be around. Darkness is your abode and to hell you shall go. 

Oh no no, you can't come near - because you are a defeated foe.
