We March On. . . 21st Century Love During a Time of Violence: Wayne & Sabrina’s Story

For those who like a back-story,
here is Wayne’s and Sabrina’s synopsis.

Or you can skip to Chapter One
Immediately following this summary impromptu…

For as far back as she could remember,

Sabrina,
an African-American Vietnamese,

had always looked forward to living forever

with her reunited family and friends

in a paradise restored on earth.

Especially with one best friend–Wayne Kang.

One fine African-American Korean,
who had a sense of humor
divine.

But Sabrina’s announcement to him
of her new profound glorious ‘anointing’
as one of Christ’s future brothers’

along with the sudden death
of one of each of their cherished parents,

her African-American JW father
and his African-American JW mother

caused Wayne to experience
an extremely devastating emotional pain.

Caused him to profess
the same ‘anointing’ too as Sabrina,

though inwardly he felt shamed
since otherwise, he sadly knew–
He really hoped to live on earth.

Now without Sabrina.
Hopelessness ensued.

But, joyous, Sabrina became.
Since, unaware of his bogus claim.

On campus,
Sabrina courageously tried to carry on a witnessing work
in the midst of rising ridicule;

especially hurtful her peer’s consistent derision,
since Wayne claimed them as his newly accrued
brew-guzzling crew.

Followed, against Sabrina,
a slew of slanderous insults

which mountainous grew
beside his erratic rapid deflection
from a way-of-life once eagerly pursued.

Crushed her pride in him
to diminish

after constant deliberation and reflection;
without viable actions
to her faith in him
replenish.

Many afternoons fleeing
from them
to a favorite park spot

sadly weep
in hide.

Fading fast her patience
replaced by anger and personal pride.

Eventually,
Wayne’s newfound arrogant antics
tossed him into a hospital,

necessitating a medically induced coma

for survival to ensue.

Requiring Mr. Kang, Wayne’s dad,
who up until just recently abhorred Sabrina,

to call upon her presence to help heal,
yes, awaken Wayne,

which she more than obligingly
desired to lovingly do.

His plan wonderfully succeeded.
After which Mr. Kang proceeded

to have her tossed out of the hospital–
no longer wanted nor her attendance physically needed.

Therefore, Sabrina returned home to a desultory routine
as she tried to balance her work of informing classmates
of an impending destruction

soon to come
that will cleanse the world of its evildoers

even Wayne
who’d, to many vices, did sadly succumb.

This message she desired
Him to promptly heed.

Though she waited on Wayne,
literally and spiritually, his ride of immorality
to finally overcome.

To be her permanent life partner.

Return to loyalty and integrity.
Stalwart become.

But, before Wayne’s obvious beating
he’d daily insist upon Sabrina’s demonstration

of her intense love for him.
She finding it difficult
immorality to resist with
Wayne’s insistence.

Firm defenses, she did swallow;
as he minimized his admirer’s belittling actions
to be of little consequence

even as his behavior became more reckless and immoral.

His words once inspiring,
now shallow and hollow.

Subduing Sabrina’s happiness thoroughly through
until she caved under his persuasion
and his wife in secrecy became.

Until she’d figured out how
to pull him from a spiritual muck and mire

he’d quickly fallen into.

Knowing, though, that her reasoning
would be considered pathetic and lame
by her mother and his father…

Her family already familiar with Mr. Kang’s disdain.

Sabrina’s heart had split; sadly divided,
causing her once atheist mom,
along with fellow believing friends,

to set out to help readjust Sabrina’s focus
before current trends,

denoting a rapid climax
to this system’s, not the literal world’s end,

caused Sabrina to lose out on her heavenly privilege
wonderfully secure

if she chooses it
to wholeheartedly defend.

Although, her mom and dad’s hope
was earthly. To live on land cleansed and renewed.

Will both Sabrina and Wayne
regain their equilibrium to fight forcefully together
against peer and family pressures

to renounce

yes pursue–a restored faith
in their ‘hope’ of a peaceful future

despite escalating violence,
rebellion and turmoil worldwide

and the real possible threat of imprisonment
for a neutral stand?

Or will Sabrina need to mentally separate from her man
to demonstrate her gratitude for Christ’s ransom,

even if Wayne,
like his father,

an apathy to God’s wonderful incoming
Kingdom government

now scathingly did claim,

which would shorten their lifespan eternally,

for Wayne in heaven
‘supposedly’ proposed

or for his father–
upon this glorious land?

Stay tuned…

For this is the beginning.
Yes, how Wayne and Sabrina began…


CHAPTER ONE

Spiraling as a tornado in a spot brewing
this whole first semester,

trapped in Sabrina’s analytical brain,

word’s from adolescence
her black father through Bible study
Sabrina ingrained:

“Therefore, I appeal to you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,

holy and acceptable to God,

a sacred service with your power of reason.

And stop being molded by this system of things,

but be transformed by making your mind over, so that you may prove to yourselves

the good and acceptable
and perfect

will of God.”*

This constant stewing
after professors’ daily deliberation of mother nature,
an accepted source of which this magnificent universe unpurposefully sprang.

(Although, her Asian mother,

for which reason Sabrina entered this elevated education of intellectual strain, full-scholarship attained,

agreed,
causing this daughter devoted
emotional pain, as a house divided creates rupture;

familial strain.

Her eyes are diverted by her iPhone
as it silently scrolls her breaking news
of yet another terrorist attack in London#,
she quickly perused.)

Here I sit listening to fact less chatter
presented as concrete matter
which, in effect, all morals universally shatter

while this world’s relieved of accountability
when thoroughly alleviated from sordid consciences

an Almighty Deity
relegated to ancient pulp fiction.

The current headlines make her tragically sadder:

Several hurt in ‘terrorist’ incident on London underground train#

Sabrina glances around this large youthful crowd
in an auditorium of her peers
in rapture by this bearded instructor

jeaned with tee shirt, posturing
lean and proud

wondering

which one of these eager beavers
would be inspired

to breed hatred then enact violence
unbrotherly.

Totally nationalistic.

Actions
death-dealingly
loud.

Who she failed to see
was a fellow believer–He

focused on her unusual beauty
casually clad in fresh attire

individually ‘rad’.

Wayne’s constant cause of early attendance,
when sleep he infinitely preferred
over this male professor’s spouting
the ‘survival of the fittest’ theory

growing an intellectual disdain
for a loving Creator’s
profound

majestic creativity.

However,
Sabrina contemplates her nagging scholarly negativity:

How do I spin this into a position to explain
these turbulent times?

Their meaning: The advent
of The Apocalypse.

A Revelation to John about the end of our days.

Armageddon.

Yet,
not the end of our earth,

to an international mankind
eternally
lent.

Although, a wicked force and his demons
to this world cast, angrily sent

will do all that is necessary

Sabrina’s endeavors

to prevent. . . To Be Continued on 6/8/2022.
