The River

By Howard "Sergio" Tucker

We sat by the river and wept…
Our sweat flowed as we thought of our brothers,

Lost in despair for they wander the streets.

We sat by the river and wept…
Our tears flowed as we thought of our sisters,

Lost in fear for they are alone seeking love in unforgiving arms.

We sat by the river and wept…
Our blood flowed as we thought of our mothers,

Lost in mystery for they are vanished and their children crying.

We sat by the river and wept…
Our anger flowed as we thought of our fathers,

Lost in injustice for they are imprisoned to feed the greed of the industry.

We sat by the river and wept…

A mighty wind began to blow.

His breath roused the waters causing a great disturbance crashing fierce waves against the shore;

We were unafraid knowing He had come to cleanse the world of wrongs and unmask the truths;

We stood and welcomed the terrible storm on the wings of a million Angles with joy in the redemption!

We embraced each other as our brothers gained wisdom;

We cheered as our sisters gained respect;

We celebrated as our mothers came home;

We worshiped His name as our fathers were freed;

We sit by the river and weep no more…for this is the age of Zion!
