So much destruction 
Causing stress and disdain 
Many are in fear and thinking 
When's it all gonna happen again ?? 
Evil's breaking out to tear everything apart 
But God is still dwelling inside His people's hearts 
Why do you want to go and take part in this senseless 
Careless nonsense? It makes no sense 
You are making people tense 
Unsafe in their own communities 
Where they've lived for a long time 
But now, we see unity 
This violence was starting to make hostility 
But rather, it's created a loving community 
People coming together to clean up the streets 
To donate their clothes as gifts to replace those lost in the heats 
Of the blazing fires these young ones don't think about 
That's Christ's light that shining through the city 
People getting to work - no time wasted, we're caring and showing pity 
For the people who got the worst 
Even by a little, everyone in Church 
Being the Body of Christ are being in one accord 
Using the sword to act out their faith 
That sword is the Word 
They see it's absurd 
They came out to prayer 
To show that they cared 
For the people who were scared 
To let them know that we're there 
And that Christ is watching over them 
Evil won't have us ensnared 
It's got to stop - what's the point in all this? 
Thinking that it's "bliss"? 
We need to show forgiveness 
And not bear invitation to ignorance 
But it's wrong. It's not civil 
It's cruel and it's evil 
Darkness wants to rise and to make light hide 
It's not going to work, because we'll make that rise 
The enemy will fall - it won't withstand 
The power of God's hand 
Look to the sky because our Hope is way higher 
We're seeking His face to let Him know its our desire 
To make sure these people are safe 
That they seek God's face 
And believe He's taking Himself and His warriors in place 
We don't war like the world, because we don't need to 
We rely on JESUS that He'll see us through 
The violence will cease 
There will be peace 
Don't worry victims, the Light will increase 
God's already at work, and we're stepping out 
If you need anymore help, just give a shout 
As I said, He's sending His people out 
We're right by your side people, no doubt 
If you're taking part in the riot, please end it now 
The law will catch up with you somehow 
Stop this hostility and division and calamity and greediness and selfishness 
Think about the families 
The people around you, who you've been with for so long 
Only now, you decide to break everything and think nothing's wrong 
Stop the madness, because it won't last 
The forces will come against you 
Don't take that chance 
Please just end it, don't keep sending it around the others to continue 
You're detroying what took so much effort to make 
Just stop all the riots for the people of London's sake 
God is already working with His people - He hears the prayers and is  bringing the peace. I encourage you to send this around, because  although it's not going to last long, I'm not taking this situation as a  joke and I'm going to show support any way I can. This isn't for me -  This is support for the victims and a plea to those encouraging it.
This is just a place where I want to share my thoughts in a way that I think is quite special to me & is often to better to explain than just telling it out. Poetry is a deep passion that I know I learn a lot from & that others can learn from too. I hope it touches you.

God Is
God is - The Sovereign
The true ruler of Earth
He has the authority
In Him is... No - God HIMSELF is the remedy
He has the power to get rid of anything not of Him
We should always go to God first
But we may still need other people's counsel
The counsel of those walking WITH Him
Seek Him with everything. Keep Him first place
God is - Hope for the Hopeless
Through His begotten Son, Jesus Christ
Who suffered the most cruel death
Many beatings & scars among His hands, head & chest
Shedding His blood from the cross so that we could be cleansed
Have eternal rest
To live & serve Him in the Kingdom
The best & only one to live for
God is - LOVE
Out of love, He gave His Son
Out of love, He was put through the worst persecution
Out of love, He was sent to DIE for us
Because of love, He was raised from the dead
Death had no power of Him
God is the most powerful, the Most Mighty, the Most High
Neither you or I can take that place
We don't deserve it, but His grace & blessings surround us
Out of love, He's willing to justify us from sin
Out of our love TO Him, we repent & believe
Out of His love for US, He holds us up & guides us the right way
The ONLY way. Through Jesus. To take us Home.
All you could ever need is in Jesus
Faith & Repentance. Rebirth. He's very much near us
He returns very soon. We must embrace how He teaches
Trust in Him everyone - GOD Is & He never ceases
