Abuse's Underground System

The Underground System of Abuse

There is in the underground system of use,

By satan’s trained agents, a world of abuse,

Where innocent victims are down-trod and trapped –

Are broken and bleeding, and in fetters wrapped.

Through violence and horrors, abuse and dread threats,

Where words of dark cruelty all the stage sets,

Here vile degradations destroy to the core,

It seems “hope and worth will be seen nevermore.”

The innocent victims, which few understand,

Are brutally caught in the enemy’s hand:

For satan’s trained agents seek total control

Of their victim’s body, heart, mind, and the soul.

Through scheming and plotting deliberate abuse,

They throw out, midst terror, this spine-chilling noose,

Which captures their prey in a yet tighter grip

While crushing the spirit and sealing the lip.

The threats and stark brainwashing few souls doth know

Set stakes in the captive which outward don’t show –

Invisible walls round the innocent stand,

And fences internal ensure freedom’s banned.

Their spirit is broken – so crushed – brought to naught,

And just as a robot they’re programmed and taught

That “fences internal can never be crossed,

Lest horrors increase, or some lives may be lost!”

The innocent cry out, “Lord, where have You been?

My Jesus, please save me from violence obscene!”

The agents have lied, saying “God does not care!”

But victims would die if the Lord was not there!

He tenderly holds them within His embrace,

Infilling each breath with divine strength and grace;

Midst horror and squalor and dark, endless pain,

Tis Jesus alone Who doth fully sustain!

He longs that you bring Him the rags of vile shame,

With heart-shreds of anguish, so bleeding and maimed –

When ALL to Him’s yielded He’ll make you brand new:

For things thought “impossible” Jesus can do!
