GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weep



(Isa. 2: 4/Isa. 61: 1, 2/Matt. 5: 9/1 Cor. 11: 1 /1 Thess. 5: 11/Eph. 6: 10-18)


GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weep
GOD Watches Over Soldiers Who Cry
GOD Watches Over Them When They Sleep
GOD Watches Them Even Should They Die

For Any Brave Warrior Who Weeps & Serves & Sighs
… Is Weeping For Our Humanity
And Every Strong Soldier Who Copes, Combats & Cries
… Is Holding Onto His or Her Sanity

For Across A Blood-Drenched Battlefield
Lay Many A Soldier's Sad Profiles
Determined To Live – Kill or Be Killed!
… And For What? Was It For Truth or For Lies?

Fighting Full-Force Into The Lines of Fires
For A Better Life or A Nation's Desires?
Facing Foes With The Same Napalm Enemy-Ire
… as War Rages On Like On Electrical Wires

In A Foreign Land – Are They Fighting For Us?
Pouring Out Blood-Oil, So Freedom's Gears Don't Rust
Politicians Talking – But Who Do They Trust?
& Since Soldiers Already There - They Fight On–They Must

But GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weep
GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Cry …
Watches Over Them Whose Levy Sprung A Leak
GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Ask ‘Why?'

They've Been Trained For War & Be Rock-Steady
And To Suck-It-Up When It Comes To Fears
But Nobody Told Them To Get Good & Ready
For The March of The Battalion of Tears …

For What Could Prepare Them For The Horror
and Carnage That Meets Their Eyes?
It Should Be Made A Soldier's Standing Order:
“Son, Its Ok To BattleCry …”

… and Lady, Its Ok To Weep Thru & After War
Even Thru What A Hard-Case Eye Saw
For Tears Is The Liquid That Pulls Off Terror's Tar
Let Treatment Be Written Down In Military-Medic Law

War … Is Like An Epileptic Seizure
Where It Chokes Life Out and Blocks A Breather
War … Is A Slasher, Double Horror Feature
War … Is A Monstrosity Creature!

Where Soldiers Have To Beat Up Their Heart To Go On
Because Their Heart Pumps & Exhaust Wants To Explode
& Where The Days After Duty Are Too Homesick-Long
While Mind-Tricks, Ticks Down To Implode …

And I Hope War Has A Strike-Zone Seizure!
And Bites, Strangles & Swallows Its Own Tongue
For The Way, War Takes Lives – At Its Leisure
& The Innocence of Youth From The Young

War's An Obscene; “Come Get What You Want” Teaser
Bares It All - But Leaves You Confused & Glum
War Ain't Nuthin' But A “Come Git' Some!” Skeezer
as It Eats Casualties & Victims Like Plums …

War … Is A Well Stocked, Cold-Rage Freezer
It Loves Cold Slabs of Flesh - Hooked & Hung Numb
War Is Wretched & Lives In The Pits Like An Old Geezer
& Chews Soldiers Up & Spits ‘Em Out Like Bombs

… Or By Sharpshooter's Aim – Past Caring & West Point
Steady Picks Off Ribcage, Skullcaps & Ligament-Joints
Into Bloodbaths of Callous-Caldrons That War Anoints
War … Puts A Price On All Peoples Then Exploits …

And Wars of The World Are Just Stage-Tragedies
Some Wars Are Just Power-Hungry  Parodies
Or Pride or Possession or Position-Diseased Maladies
While Few Wars Are Fought For Need–Most Are Greedy-Grabies

The Tale,  “War and Peace” Spoke of War's Nature
and ‘The Art of War' Paints A Perverse Picture
The Colors War Use – Should Be Gray-Ash-Censure
The Frame For War–Is Death's Grinning-Skeletal-Dentures
War's Portrait Is A Fire-Belching Dragon &Toxic-Mixture
War's Decoupage Is A Gaping, Earth-Divided, Blazing Fissure
(where only the damned, demented or desperate venture)

War Is Hell On Earth, Only Death & Devils Thinks Its Fun
… Certainly Not Your Husbands, Wives, Daughters or Sons
Nor Your Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers or Any Loved Ones
Those Warriors Just Want War To Be Over & Done
(They Want To Come Home and Say, “We've Won!” …

… not Say:  ‘I've Got Post-Traumatic-Stress
or I Have To Go In For Agent-Orange Tests
or Depression & Bouts of Feeling Emptiness
or I Can't Find Peace of Mind & I Can't Rest
or I've Got A Sense of Distrust or Distress
of The Few & The Proud / Be All You Can Be Jests
(or An Uncle Who Wanted You, But Now Neglects) …

But GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weep
GOD Watches Over Soldiers Who Cry
… Watches Those Who Are Sorry They Sowed & Reaped
Slices of War's Poisoned Gas & Seed Pies

GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weep
GOD Watches Over Soldiers Who Cries
& HE's Waiting With The Mercy & Love Soldiers Seek
To Save You From The World's Dangerous-Disguise

For Their Countries/They've Put Life On The Line For You
But When They Come Home – You Think You're Through?
… You Must Pay Honor & Give Them Back Their Due!
You Can't Just Patch ‘Em Up & Send Them Away Too

‘Cause I've Seen Discarded Veterans – Living On The Street
‘Cause Stipends They Get Ain't Enough For Rent To Meet
And I've Seen ‘Em Trying To Cope On A Junkie's Sweet
I've Seen Veterans Staying Drunk As Rain-Drenched Sheets
I've Seen ‘Em Scarred Like Cut-Up Raw Meat
I've Seen Vets Scared & From The World Trying To Retreat
Yeah, I've Seen Old & Young Veterans Weep … …

And About War – Some War Heroes Won't Even Speak
Because The Hollow-Shell-Shock & Hurt's So Bad & Deep
While We Throw Parades & Ribbon-Medals & Try Not To Think
About Washing Up Their Salt-Filled & Tear-Stained Sinks
While Tattooing Their Memory, Engraved Across Earth's Cheeks

Yet GOD Watches Over Strong Soldiers Who've Cried
& GOD Watches Over Brave Warriors Who Have Weeped
GOD Stands Over & Guards, Ever Watchful, Ever Nigh'
& GOD Will Give Them A Life They Can Want To Keep …

And Even Now, GOD Is Trying To Save Their Souls
While They're Trying To Live Up To A Hero's Role
But Its Hard To Break Out of Madness' Mold
… and The Awful Memories That It Holds …

When Their Best Friends Were Blown-Up In Their Sight
That Is That Battlefield's Worst-Invaded-Blight!
Soldiers See That Harvest Scene, Especially At Night
And Something Cold & Hot Slips From Eyes Held Tight

War Is The Nightmare They Can't Wake Up From
For When They Wake – They Still Carry Missiles & Rifles-Guns
Or Laying Semi-Conscious and Quasi-Stunned
… with Both Legs Blown-Off … They Can't Run …
(they lay deaf from the residue sound of radioactive-hums)

And GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weep
GOD Watches Over Soldiers Who Cries
GOD Watches As They Mend Broken-Homes & Heart Heaps
As They Struggle To Get On With Normal Lives
(their shrapnel-filled, shredded & shattered lives) …

… A Blown-Off Limb – A Severed Hand
Blinded, Butchered Into A Broken Woman or Man
Now, They Can Be Repaired – I've Seen It Done – They Can
But Never The Same (Only Warriors-Soldiers, This Understand)

Yes, A Warrior Who Cries Is Still Courageous
And Weeping Tears Shows You're Still Human
Capable of Knowing That Power-of-War-Plagues-Us
And That War's Glory Is Just Gory & Gruesome

So Weeping Is Results of War's Siphoned Salty Water
But Crying Dilutes War's Brine & Bitter Brew
War's Pollution, Tries To Make Purifying-Tears Falter
Because War Is The 2nd Worst Draught & Draft Men Drew!

But Tears' Salty-Fluid Wipes Away & Staunch Blood
Because War … Is A River of Blood-Flood
That's Why We Cry A River of Cleansing Tear-Suds
To Lighten Loads & Not Crack Under Pressure Like Subs

And GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weep
GOD Watches Over Soldiers Who Cry
Even If Earth's Altitude Make Soldiers' Eyes Sleet
From Icy Attitudes That Kills Like Friendly-Fire Bullets-Fly

And GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weep
GOD Watches Over Soldiers Who Cries
HE Watches As They Try To Get Over The Grief
… But The Only Way To Do That … Is From On High

As Long As They Don't Deny HIM or Defy
As Long as They Move On, Make Sense of Precious Life
As Long As They Ask Forgiveness, Stop Sinning (or Try)
& Let The Rules of GOD Grow From Inches Into Miles

and Be Satisfied With What GOD's Goodwill Supplies
and To GOD's Commands–They No Longer Compromise
And Strive To Be As Holy As Possible In HIS Eyes
Then GOD Watches Over Them … Yes, This Applies …

To Any Devout Soldier/Warrior Brave Girls or Guys
GOD Watches Over & Keeps Us Safe From Lake of Fires
Yes, GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weeps & Cries
But Take Courage Now & One Day You Will Rise!

And GOD Has A Set Time –  For Zero-Hundred-Hours
& For Armageddon To Set Sail From Highest Heaven's Harbors
GOD Is Waiting To Release Almighty, Awesome Powers
So Don't Get Caught Up In Fighting For Earth's Squatter's Borders
(Rev. 16: 14-16)

For Christ Is The Conqueror, Christ Is The King!
and JAH  Is The Almighty Sovereign Supreme!
and They Are Watching Over Every Teardrop Sheen
That A Weary-of-Wars, Warrior Streams …
(Ps. 56: 8)

GOD Watches Over Brave Warriors Who Weep
GOD Watches Over Strong Soldiers Who Cry
And No Length Is Too Far For HIM To Leap
and No Casket Too Closed For Christ To Pry …

& Take Note: Our Weapons Are Purely Spiritual
Our King Isn't Worldly … He's of Heaven's Imperial
We're Fighting To Bring Love Not Take Some Material
& We Win Every Battle – Now, That's A Miracle!

GOD Watches Over Us and Helps Us Stay Strong
GOD Watches Over Us As We Battle To Beat What's Wrong
GOD Watches Over Us So It Doesn't Matter How Long
GOD Is Watching Over Us … To Bring Us Home
Where We'll Not Only Battle-Shout, We'll Praise In Battle-Songs!

With Our Commander-In-Chief, Lord Jesus Christ
He Is The Champion-Son – Sent By Orders of JAH's
And They Already Made The Greatest Sacrifice
So You Wouldn't Have To Let Death Keep Your Life
And When Its Over – We'll Enter Into Paradise

Yes, We Will Receive The Victory-Spoils of War
So, Let Jesus Christ, Make You A Battlestar!
A Complete Quadrant, A Conquering-Quasar!
For His Kingdom Will Reach Forever, Infinite-Far!

… Farther Than You Can See With Your Eyes
Further Than Where You're Powerless To Die
Further Away Than Any Sorrow or Strategic-Surprise
For GOD Watches Over HIS Soldiers Who've Cried
GOD Watches HIS Warriors – To Make Us Wise …

Oh, Put On The Complete Suit Of Armor From GOD!
& Your Tour of Duty Won't Be In Vain or Too Hard
And Your Body of Troops Won't Be Destroyed
For Thru Every Battle – GOD Will Be Your Vanguard …

Now, A Warrior Will Fight – To Defend His Castle
But, I've Never Liked The Term ‘Necessary Evil'
So, Let Us Hammer That Down On Isaiah's Anvil
((Isa. 2: 4)
For War Is Human Lives In An Inhuman-Upheaval

But One Day, Man Will Beat Swords Into Plowshares
For Men Won't Have To War Anymore – Anywhere
There'll Be Enough Resources To Go Around & Share
There'll Be Enough Love To Keep At Home & To Care
(gathered and guarded by airforce wings & prayers)

The Wages of Man's Wars Are Too Costly To Afford
War … Is Like Being Whipped With A Steel-Tipped Cord
and “If You Live By The Sword – You'll Die By The Sword”
(Matt. 26: 52)
This Mental, Emotional, Physical & Spiritual Warning Can't Be Ignored
But If You Weep, Because of War … Then You're Watched Over By The Lord
And GOD Watches Over Soldiers Who Cry To Be … Restored

For Warriors Who Weep Deep-Inside Are Peace Lovers
& When Your Tour of Duty & Battle Front Is Finally Over
… You Wont' Have To Run & Hide In Shameful Cover
(Gen. 3: 8-10)
For Warriors Who Cry – Still Control Their Soul's Honor

GOD Watches Over Brave Warriors Who Weep
‘Cause They're Battling For Something Worth Believing In
& Christ Watches Over His Little Flock & Other Sheep
& He'll Never Desert Nor Let Any Defeat Them …

GOD Guards Us Like The Sun Guards The Skies
GOD Guards Us Like A Man Would A King's Treasure Prize
GOD Guards Us Like A Mother Does Her Baby When It Cries
Now, Don't You Know, We're The Apple of JAH's Eyes!
(Zech. 2: 8)
& GOD Watches Over Warriors Who Weeps & Cries …

(Eph. 6: 10-18)
So, Soldier, If You're Wearing His Sacred, Shining Armor
GOD Is Watching Over You Too, Then Warrior
GOD Is Watching Over Warriors Weeping In Holy Ardor
& Christ Is Watching Over Soldiers Who Follows Orders …
