Excellent Sorrow prior to matyrdom Shall We Sing The Lord's Song? by jim vecchio Emotions writing prompt entry

On Babylon VIII, we sat and are weeping The Blueskins  grabbed us while sleeping Captives, they carried us away And said, “Would you like to live today?” They inflicted on us terrible scars Upon learning we had no harps or guitars “Listen to us, gentlemen of earth, From you, we require mirth!” “On our world, we are quite bored, And mocked, Sing to us of your Lord!” How shall we sing the lord’s song in a strAnge land? We did not forget Thee,  Lord, nor are we running If so, let our right hands forget their cunning If, in your name, we would mock May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth In Christ’s Blood we all did bathe Remember us Lord as we die for our Faith In your Name, we shall be destroyed Remember your people on this asteroid On Babylon VIII, we sat and are weeping Writing Prompt Pick an emotion and write a poem of any type.

This poem is based on the saddest Psalm ever written, PSALM137.God's people wept and would not sing The Lord's Song in a strange land.
