Mercy To Give

I sit cross legged, heart unboundPostured for prayerFor my worldFull of deathFull of painFull of spirits weighed down by yokes of oppressionOf hateOf greedWeepingLamentingCrying out "God, in your mercy"When the Spirit draws near and whispers"What if the mercy you seek is not mine to give"
