"Freedom's Veil"

Eunice wrote this poem after church yesterday.  - poetheart 05/12/03

Freedom's veil
Against the grain
My lifetime's
Vain endeavor

To reach and mourn
To lose all hope
Revive
My Spirit ever

I soar to war
Against the foes
Of ignorance
And fear


Intolerance -
the Angel's name
Who treads on me
Too near

One must choose
The battle calls
To take up arms
And conquer


Lest Creation's
Lonely scheme
The vine of life

To wither
