A bruised reed crushes the head of the snake

[A Poem]

Are you the bruised reed that breaks
	or will you crush the head of the snake?

Will you burn like a roaring blaze
	or have you succumbed to a malaise?

Will you raise up the age-old foundations
	or will you collapse under the intensity of the shaking?

Will you perish into dust
	or will you be raised from the dead untouched?

Are you a smoldering wick that's quenched
	or will you be the one with a forehead like flint?

May strength arise in the darkest of nights
    Even in twilight, we continue our fight

May strength arise harkening back on morning's light
    Even tonight, we will continue to fight

May strength arise

Rely on God’s strength, and lean not on your own understanding. ALWAYS REMEMBER that you are part of a Holy Lineage that will never die.
