The Jesus Girl

Paul Bell

The Jesus girl with the long blond hair
Wants to show you love
Show she cares
Got God on her side
Sees rainbows in the air

The Soldier boy
Broken and gone
Feels only pain
As he looks upon
His only way

The Jesus girl with the long blond hair
Is on a mission
Lives to save
God's number one
The prodigal son

The Soldier boy
Remembers the day
His life changed
In every way
He earned his pay

The Jesus girl with the long blond hair
Is on the road
With love to share
Comes across her destined soul
Her little lost foal

The Soldier boy
Fires in haste
Fear in his eyes
He hears the cries
They wouldn’t die


The Jesus girl with the long blond hair
Holds out her hands
To show she cares
Touches his face
Tries to explain

The Soldier boy
Tortured in mind
Flashbacks
That make him blind
Just wants to die

The Jesus girl with the long blond hair
Takes his tears
Takes his fears
Gives him love
Sets him free

The Soldier boy
Sees the light
Forgives himself
His earthly plight
Thoughts of death already ceased
The Soldier boy
Now at peace.

        "The true Soldier fights
        not because he hates
        what is in front of him, but
        because he loves
        what is behind him."
        G. K. Chesterton
        (yet still, that added weight
        of a life, taken - stolen
        even in the name of loved ones
        those, 'True' soldiers
        carry back, with them
        after surviving, hell on earth..
        is deceptive in its capacity
        to poison, the very love
        they fought to protect..
        alas
        it takes, someone with immense
        empathy and humility
        to patiently, soak their fingers
        with tears of sincerity
        and unfurl
        those clotted
        'nightmares, as relived thoughts'
        and wrangled hair knots
        from despair's, gaping abyss
        of freefall, defeat..
        it takes someone, whose cultivated
        their own faith
        into a fishing rode, of unwavering belief
        in goodness, prevailing
        over
        the abundant atrocities, of life..)
        simply Brilliant, dear Poet

          I think the ordinary people of Ukraine who maybe went to work, lived a normal life, and then found themselves catapulted into war. It must feel surreal. Soldiers live their lives on split second decisions, and those seconds sometimes last a lifetime, or for the unfortunate ones who take their own lives, a short one.

          • L. B. Mek

            hate begets hate, violence begets violence
            blessed are those unrewarded, majority
            who see mercy and kindness, as a viable
            antidote:
            'We must love one another or die.

            Defenceless under the night
            Our world in stupor lies;
            Yet, dotted everywhere,
            Ironic points of light
            Flash out wherever the Just'
