A Sword

A sword, such in the word of God
of the spirit, living in each one of us
a weapon, offensive weapon,
to be used to change the world
A message of love, written on our hearts
made real, living through us
armor we need, to defend us from the world
the temptations, the assaults, the enemy
but the sword for battle, to bring the fight to them
the holy word of God
this is our sword

This one is really beautiful! Just the perfect example that you don't need a tons of words to describe the word of god, whom in many cases is seen as a sword too and yes in many religions, many good or bad things have been done in the name of God, so that is described the best from what i see in this poem.

I'll add this blog on my list to-read, gratz and keep it up with the good job!
