The "Indiscriminate"

In memoriam of my brother-in-law who suffered from cancer.  He passed away two years ago.  Many of us in the family have him more on our minds this week as it was his birthday...love to you Mark.

THE INDISCRIMINATE
It sneaks up on you
And grabs you by the balls
The veracity of its desire
Overwhelms you
Overtakes you
Until you succumb
At the end
Suffering
Surrendering
To its call.
No! ‘Don’t do it.’
Echoes deep within
You fight
You give in
Not a moment’s rest
Is this what life has become?
A constant struggle
Where is the peace?
Peace is found within
Within the midst
Of darkness and despair
The world is thrashing all around you
Yet your soul knows
Knows its maker
Trusts Him
Therein peace is found
