POEM | EVEN THE WORTHLESS

EVEN THE WORTHLESS
a poem by blackopscharlie 111212 © blackopscharlie.com
listening to switzerland by daughter

the windshield wiper blades
swished back and forth
spraying the water freezing
spreading, i couldn’t see

the sky was bright blue, bright
the tempeture cool, freezing the wash
sun bright, spreading across my sight
let it freeze, let it blind me, because…

i can’t see anyway, i can’t see anyway

where you at my Lord, where is your name
that brings healing souls, freedom, filling holes
they say you’re right here, you’re real, sincere
you walk along side, abide, you won’t let go

maybe it’s like Job, letting satan take hold
to prove some point while Job whales in anguish
or your disciples, beaten, tortured, imprisoned
one by one dyeing in belief for your help

why does your father require such anguish
but promise such relief and love and fortune
like your last ride shredded, trail of torture
suffocation hanging from a cross crucified

why would i pray for good or relief
when i know your method is pain and suffering
why would i raise my voice in asking
when your mind is already made up

you will do what is best in the suffering of us all
redeem us when you are done playing with satan
until then, we want you to know it hurts
when you play…even if we are worthless in sin

About blackopscharlie

ARTIST | POET | WRITER I seek out connections that otherwise are not connected...because they are connected. I want to share those connections. I believe in speaking up for the truth because despite the miss application of relativity, it does exist. I find myself growing intolerant of complacency and find it as problematic as the perpetrators who prey on their victims. The idea of “just getting along” because “everyone is flawed” in the name of peace ultimately ends in oppression of those in need. I believe in defending the weak, helping the poor, encouraging those in need and that the ideology of postmodern pop culturalism has lost it’s way because it denies there is a way. I enjoy growing and building things. I want to make a difference by finding value in what I do. I choose to believe in possibility. I'm a zealot looking for a cause.
