Promptly Poetry Challenge 2022/2023

KERF - for Week 23 - Standing Tall

A voice to speak for all -
Resilient and unending;
Bringing light into the tainted darkness.

No choice but head the call;
The truth we are defending
Even calling out in the bleak starkness.

Standing tall in armor,
We are fighting the good fight;
Holding out in a blessed alertness.

His grace we do adore -
Praising Him with all our might;
Fearing not Satan's evil absurdness.
