We ought naught disparage disparity
or call to question those desperate days
when the dream seems far from coming true,
and the dawn delays before its breaking.
For the dreamer is dearer to the dream-maker
than circumstance may suggest,
and there is deep beauty only found
in the deserts that stand before promised places.
Love long labored for
Does not wax and wane with time,
And that which is purchased at great price
Is not oft neglected nor easily forgotten.
It may be otherwise in other worlds
where there were no falls,
no broken covenants or prodigal sons,
but that is not our fate.
The things most precious in life
must be purchased at great cost,
and they may tarry over long,
yet they are sweeter in their fulfillment.

Response:
Ought we naught,
View with scorn,
The mercy He sought,
The years forlorn?
What hope have we,
His progeny,
Descended of,
His destiny?
The world around
cowers and quails,
Submits to a darkness
That doesn't curtail.
But in all this anguish,
We have no concern.
For we worship a Christ,
Whose eyes still burn!
To Him who razed
Our lives (filled with death),
Be all the praise,
We can fulfill with our breath.
That is quite the comment sir. Is that an AK Call original?
my nemesis, the skolnick penned it.
