May the Righteous Win

May the Righteous Win  (13+) Written for a contest but from the heart, The Prayer of Jabez turned right-side-in. #644872 by sybil

In total disregard
we scorn
The universal laws.
The seven deadly sins
To be the death of us all.
Defense, retaliation,
War and protests reign
Mirror of the chaos
Reflection of our pain.
Everybody knows,
Nobody wants the blame.
And so shall we die
Under the disguise
Of freedom and pride.
A planet full of egos
Destined to collide,
All at the mercy of -
The folly of mankind.

So pray for Bin Laden,
And pray for Hussein,
The prayer of Jabez *
Turned right-side-in.

Oh, Bless them indeed,
And reduce their territories.
May Your hand be with them
To keep them from evil,
That they may cause no pain.

May God be our judge,
And may the righteous win –
Forever and ever,
AMEN.

*Prayer of Jabez: I Chronicles 4:10-11
"...and his mother called his name Jabez, saying Because I bare him in sorrow.
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, Oh that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territories, that Your hand would be with me and keep me from evil, that I may cause no pain, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested."
