She started asking questions

They said she was brainwashed

She was hurt at the injustice

They said she was bitter

She couldn’t fit into their box

So they made her an outcast

 

He started asking questions

They called him weak

They called him paranoid

He tried to reason

They shut their ears

He thought the truth mattered

They proved him wrong

 

She trusted him

He betrayed her

Half truths, whole lies he spoke

And he was believed

He had won… it seemed

 

They trembled,

overwhelmed by the depth of the deceit,

Waves and waves of lies

Evil was winning… it seemed

So well disguised as good, so crafty

 

..But mercy pulled them out

Not unscathed

But they were safe

They were free

They would be healed

And in time justice would prevail

 

“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.”

– Psalms 37:7-8 ESV
