For Righteousness' Sake

The last sustained note
Drifted away
The last harmonic throat
Sang the anthem


The tired sinews
Watched it come
As the deep dark hues
Pressed towards them


Knees slapped the dark mire
No defense
Provoked an ire

Bones burst in loud display
Malevolence
And Death on the Lord’s Day

Many yearning hearts
Cried to their God
Through these bloody arts
They held on

Holding onto the serene
“But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,”
-1 Peter 3:14
