In Our Lives Poem by Gerry Legister

In our lives, past and present,
we had ignorance untold,
and the virus was unpleasant,
it releases dangers we could not hold.
On the path of injustice and inequality,
and revelation that had to show,
Enlightenment before reaching our destiny,
on that widening road of tomorrow.

But however dark the night may be,
the darkness leaves more mystery,
surrounding the centuries that smudges history.
And the curses do not seem to fade away,
as fast as blessings come infrequently.

The torment keeps on clinging,
with such ominous numbing fear,
of dangers that the future may be bring,
we see through a glass darkly obstacles unclear.
Unstable people waver when facing the truth,
But only one Christ can be our savior,
We were already doom from birth,
Cast in with the lords despise few to be deliver.

Out of the realm of sad destitute,
Into the splendor of a marvelous light,
That every human possess flesh and spirit,
Our lives are a beacon in the night.
Responsibility falls on every individual,
Perhaps heaven will not be denied.
When choosing what will be held accountable,
In our lives we get the chance to decide,
Nothing is impossible or insurmountable.
