The friend crossed his heart <br />The promise got broken <br />The builders built <br />The city's now in ruins <br />The watchman watched <br />The wails of the lucky living are still heard <br /> <br />They run helter <br />They run skelter <br />There's no bread in the land <br />The bandits still want their share <br />The roof of the trusted has become a snare <br /> <br />The arm of man will fail <br />His words a toothless dog's woof <br />But a tower remains <br />When one's eyes are raised <br />Arms open to keep us safe <br />For Jehovah is more than able<br /><br />Ehi Abah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-safe-haven/
