(13 posts)73. From The Space In Between
This was neither media, nor big business. It was not the wealthy whose reach has marveled us as to what they can achieve.
It was neither the people who worked along side, or near by.
God does not shout,
but speaks in whispers.
Sometimes even in the silence.
And a voice was heard,
it had to be heard.
It was heard
and some have marveled at its power,
and some have condemned it for its trying.
Some have questioned its existence,
others, declare they will put it out.
Because they serve a sad master
a powerless hand.
that only rises because it has said,
"Look How Great I AM"
But a voice,
from the spaces in between spoke out.
Not in shouts, but a whisper,
a tone of contemplation and said
"Have Mercy."
God is
not
in
you
Mr. President
