Like Luther


“Pursue!” said these people,
“Enough!” said those people;
Go!” says one group,
“Keep waiting!” says the other group.
Two ears have I, so I listen to both sides,
But two legs are not meant to take two sides!

I cannot decode the signal from heaven,
They say I pray harder to the God of heaven,
Oh! I’ve moved from praying to begging!
I looked up at the black sky, asking,
“Where will my help come from?” From the sky?
Mosquito buzzed. Oh! Certainly not from a fly!

My heart and my mind failed me,
Yet from an utter fall, the Scripture upholds me!
This and that they keep on saying,
As I continue to keep on listening.
Oh! Come whatever the night’s lot!
Like Luther, I stand still, “Help me, God!”
