All the horrors comitted
in His name
all the innocents who perish
for those who believe
only they are right
only they know the truth
a mass of souls crying
out to Him
must be heard
do you not understand
you have been given the choice
yet still you choose death
the endless darkness
what promise does it utter
that you hear no other
hiding from the Light
slowly decaying
slowly fading from His sight
do you believe He will wait forever
for your hearts to change
your souls to be cleansed
why do you not listen
to the warnings He gives
you do not see
nor do you understand
the effect you have
on those around you
on the very world that supports you
that He gave you to care for
all this anger and pain
must go somewhere
He hears your prayers
and His replies go unheard
or understood
we are judged by actions
and more is needed
than prayer alone
