Faith

Ravaged by nature
raped by man
rivers either run dry
or run red

No peace to be found
on trembling earth

Escape from the fury 
of the storm
only to face the wrath 
of furious men

beleaguered people
look for succour

When all seems lost
and no answers given
despair seeks solace
in blind faith

We can pull through
if only we believe
