Oh Lord, Your Child needs now an heir, Just one bright star to guide us where Wise men gather, not mere fools Content just being the Devil’s tools.
You’d sent him once this world to mould Thru’ words of love and tales he told. I had no chance his hem to hold, No time to watch that dream unfold.
For I was born a shade too late Not to his world but one of hate. Where man with man with violence deals The poor one starves, the rich one steals.
Truth is crushed and lies are told The honest cower, the corrupt are bold. Where ideas born of shameful birth Make deadly mayhem a cause for mirth.
Where teachers teach the tomes of hate And men decide each others Fate. Where rapes become a daily game Played by men in your name.
Where wounded streets scream in vain For a healing touch to dull the pain Of mans assaults In the name of God- Where children play with gun and sword.
Where crystal skies are staunched in grey From funeral pyres and life’s decay. Where Earth bereft of flowering seeds Just holds the graves of man’s misdeeds.
Where widows wail in stark lament, Their men are dead their lives are spent. The mother seeks a long lost child Amidst a ruined world turned wild.
Tormented, lost her anguished eyes Gaze in horror as reason dies. Its place usurped by Hatred’s flame Lit by men who chant your name.
Scarred by horrors they see and feel Those broken souls before you kneel. The ****** earth with tears they mark They seek the light caught in the dark.
Tattered shrouds and silent quest They call to you for final rest. Oh Lord let them his face behold Lend them now his hand to hold.
