No Power In The Verse Can Stop Me NaPoWriMo 2025

Lord have mercy 
Hear our prayer 
As with a hint of frenzy 
We cast ourselves into the mercy
Of Poseidon’s buoyant whims 

Lord have mercy
Hear our hymn
As the cold hits your bones 
Full shock to the system 

Lord have mercy
Hear our cries
As the waves obliterate the choir 
Of our voices with its own 
All-powerful death metal drone 

*improvisatory screaming* 

Lord have mercy 
Hear our song 
As we retreat to the safety 
We craved all along 

Amen for warmth
Amen for dry
Amen for doing it all again next time
