Abraham Lincoln: Masterful Peacemaker

Malice toward none
Charity for all
Force is all-conquering
But its victories are short-lived
It is right
That makes might
Destroy your enemies
By making them friends
Sin and self-exaltation
Is a reproach to any people
Oppression is never credible
Thankfully Honest Abe
Never lost touch
With the common people
Continually calling upon
And confiding in
The Maker of heaven and earth
President Lincoln called
Three national days
Of fasting and prayer
To cry out for assistance
With national concerns and cares
Acknowledging the pretenses
Of American liberty
Lincoln could not sit by quietly
Endure white supremacy
Happily embrace such hypocrisy
And celebrate patriotically
But instead he lifted up his voice
For the cause of the Almighty
Procuring for all humanity
Justice and liberty
Not content
To trample on the rights of others
Lincoln fought for his black brothers
Restoring the genius
Of American independence
Liberating all subjects
From despots and tyrants
Leaning heavily upon God
With all reliance
Kneeling often
During the Civil War
That to our nation
Unity, He would restore
He who would be no slave
Should neither consent
To have a slave
Those who deny others freedom
Deserve it not themselves
Character is like a tree
And reputation like its shadow
The shadow is what we think of it
The tree however is the real thing
Therefore by propaganda dont be fed
Nor by nepotistic leaders be misled
No man is good enough
To govern another man
Without the others consent
Otherwise his pursuits will be ill bent
People should be their own rulers
Not judiciary bodies
Such as the Supreme Court
Giving tribunals such power
Disintegrate our human rights and values
Hour by hour
Allowing ill-motivated legislation
To be written, legislated and translated
According to fluctuating whim and circumstance
Economic gain and the national security dance
Thereby afflicting
The disenfranchised with pain
Such governmental imbalances
We the people must disdain
Dont interfere therefore
With the Constitution
A sacred text
That must be maintained
For it alone safeguards our liberty
Reinterpreting it means insurgency
A departure from the founding fathers intent
And a tear in the nation by reason of rend
Not only will offend
But rapidly send
Our nation into utter confusion
Moral erosion and destitution
For this reason President Lincoln
Was repeatedly driven
To his knees
Having nowhere else to go
While dealing with
A divided nation
Opposing opinions and advice
Rampant injustice and vice
Humbly beseeching
The favor of the Earths Governor
Realizing that
He who made the world
Still governs it
Though weary in well doing
Lincoln did not quit
Earnestly desiring Providence
In regard to the matter
Disregarding godless chatter
Deeply desiring
That all his works and acts
Be done according to His will
Lincoln gave freedom to the slave
Whereby he assured
Freedom to the free
For both to be all they can be
That all might dwell together
In liberty and dignity
Making an Emancipation Proclamation
Lincoln fatherly united the nation
Calling all to repentance
Of sin and transgression
Imploring the mercy of the Lord above
That He might shower on us
His mercy, pardon, and love
To reconcile and rise above
The calamity of injustice and war
For being rotten to the core
That we being the recipients
Of the choicest bounties of heaven
Would be kept from all Pharisaical leaven
Partisan politics
Self-righteousness
But that we might seek
To be on the Lords side
And there always reside
That our nation
Might be united under God
A government of the people
By the people
For the people
Preserved in peace and prosperity
Established in grace and truth generationally
To forever secure our heritage and legacy
Lincoln considered the holy Bible
To be Gods greatest gift to man
Which if wed obediently follow His plan
Will bring countless and innumerable blessings
To our beloved homeland
As we discern right from wrong
Make a solemn sacrifice
To under gird future generations
By cleaving to that which is right
Remembering mercy bears richer fruits
Than strict heartless justice
Because none of us are guiltless
Purity does breed immortality
As we consider all things personally
Before projecting them on others presumptuously
Such were the errors
Of the masters of Slavery
Who forgot the Lord
From whom all blessings flow
Instead they preferred to bring men low
Shackle them in bondage and servitude
Yet their plot
Lincoln did not evade you
For God had anointed you
To see and say
To eliminate Slavery
Day by day
To once again in our nation
Relay
A moral foundation
By which we forever say
In God We Trust
For in our darkest hours
Confidence in King Jesus
Is a must
Hence inscribed on all currency and coin
Are these prophetic words
To strengthen us within
Unify us in purpose
Beyond political discourse
Overcome the worse divorce
Delicately drawn near
To pray together and hear
Th ough today many are forlorn
Beaten down by sorrow
Self-seeking leaders
A national tragedy
In such times
To us Lincoln you remain
A voice for humanity
That we forever might live
In truth and liberty
Stand against every national enemy
In loving unity
One God fearing country.
