Our Time Here

They will look at us with disgust.
They will take back their trust.
No more are we objects of their lust,
But figures of righteousness to the unjust.

We will be spit on.
We will be frowned upon,
But we will continue to use Christ as our secret weapon.

We will be the epitome of their mockery.
Meanwhile, our faith will remain what it will always be,
But our suffering will continue to be plenty.

They will plague us a great deal,
But we will ultimately fulfill God's will.
For our fate is already sealed.

*Inspired by John 16:33*

    I like this omniscient character orchestrated at the start, it allows the reader to want to keep reading to find out who 'they' are and find the clues as to why they will look at you in disgust or losing trust... its a great way to lure the person into reading more! Awesome work!

    We will be frowned upon,
