In the middle of turmoil and terrors of wars, <br />Screams pervade each place with just a word- <br />Help- amidst rallying gunshots and bombs' explosive roars. <br />With my unyielding will and unsheathed sword <br />Peace I shall find you! <br /> <br />Under mountains of death-infested ruins and rubbles <br />Every torn wall, shattered window, broken home, <br />Burnt bridge, rotten government and festive shambles <br />May my earnest supplications fill this smoke-covered dome. <br />Hope I shall find you! <br /> <br />Through the monsters and fiends unleashed by hell's gate <br />I saw how mankind morphed into something Gehennic? <br />Lo! Cold watchful demonic eyes on children's budding fate <br />While their fangs half-buried into my bleeding neck. <br />Courage I shall find you! <br /> <br />Beneath this perdition slowly devouring nations, <br />Western churches, , Arabian mosques, Eastern temples, <br />Withering hands, fading prayers, drowning conscience. <br />From this scarce breath I'll sing with the angels, <br />Faith I shall find you! <br /> <br />Between every hatred, every evil, every piercing curse, <br />Whereupon foes are still foes, yet, turned friends against friends, <br />And to my heart's regret, brothers against brothers. <br />Should my life offer the grace of forgiveness and amends, <br />Love I shall find you! <br /> <br />Beyond the stretching battles for love and peace <br />Where souls have lost their hope, faith and courage, <br />May this song reach and rest like a gentle kiss, <br />On every one's heart, and, be a proverbial message- <br />Mirth We shall find you!<br /><br />Cristone Benavente<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-shall-find-you/
