The Body of the Conquered from Within

To Conquer: To acquire by force Within side me I understand that I am strong For with strength And God on my side I can, and I shall Overcome. I understand the road is tough and hard to plow I will carry on, Dig deep down, And look forward To devour And destroy The enemies Around. I hold my head strong with might For in sight, I can see what will be the finish line To my fight. With weary hands that hold no more The brain and soul Are not capable To know What God Has in store. For weary feet that have danced Beat on beat on beat And are now Beat Down. The legs dance on Looking, Searching, Hoping, That they are found. The back The achy, achy, back That has carried many burdens Is now Admitting That it is Hurtin’. Pride has collapsed Envy has depressed And the JOY ODE TO JOY Has elevated. My heart is open wide, WIDE As the red sea that Moses parted My heart is waiting, Waiting To be granted the passage way Into the Promise Land That the Israelites started. Conquered From within I have been. From the roots of my hair To the souls of my feet I am conquered I am Strong Inspired And, Ready For the conquering of With in.
