Fragments of "poems" I am trying to work on...

Heart Broken
Another friend walks away
Is love enough to compel a return?
When will this deception be exposed…
And the prison chains come off—
the bleeding wrists of the prisoner?

Fire burns on the altar
This torch will be passed to the younger ones
Will they know how to use the heat…
As carriers of a force that can set nations free?
Will their heart break for the least of these?

A battle in the natural
Fought with weapons and courage
Does not give equal reflection
To the war raging underneath…
What will it take to stand…
Against a culture that murders innocence and belief.

The answer to freedom resides in the fiery ones
They may not know how to hold a gun
But they’ve learned how to live without fear.
Will their beauty remain hidden forever—
Or will passion override fear…revealing the majesty
Of the mystery hidden inside?

Will they choose to let the flesh die
So they can run with the horses
And soar like the eagle…
Lightweight and free, kingdom sneak attacks
Flying in right on time, freedom coming through their cry

The weighty truth is this…
One compromise can kill passion
Playing with darkness undermines authority
Purity brings victory
Because that’s the only condition at which vision is
Clear.

Are second chances possible?
Let’s treat our character as if they’re not…
God always forgives.
Man rarely forgets.
One crack in the foundation
Is all it takes to make even the strongest of towers
Fall.
