Breaking the Spell

30 Jun 2020

For oh, so long I have known
this-
that the spell had been 
cast
and for years I have sought
remedies
through priests and preachers,
healers
- all to no avail.
And I have learned
that there exists
no
recitation or potion
amulet or talisman
-nothing like these
can break the
curse...
But, thankfully time has revealed
a great, cosmic
truth-
" God is all-powerful,"
" What goes around comes around."
and, " Evil always boomerangs back
to its source."
And yes,
I have listened to many moving
sermons
and seen the unexplained
but to be granted divine help
we must first help
ourselves...
by never giving a foothold to haters,
emotional vampires,
- we must upsurp toxicity
and apathy
and crush denial
by bearing witness
- declaring it
loud
and only then,
is the spell 
broken-
that evil spell
silence,
which breeds but
strife
and with it-
violence.
