Painful sorrows
which dig within her, and I and us...
In savage reverence to just how much "fools" we are
to destroy what is good,
to intimidate what is meaningful;
to devastate one who comes just to save us and better our days,
while enlightening our shadowed lives.
Must we watch?
Must we relive this death?
It is to be what we must do,
and see,
and watch,
and hear, and feel...
as it comes around again
this...
this death of ourselves.

Painful sorrows
which dig within her, and I and us...
In savage reverence to just how much "fools" we are

to devastate one who comes just to save us and better our days,
while enlightening our shadowed lives.
Must we watch?
Must we relive this death?
It is to be what we must do,
and see,

as it comes around again
this...
this death of ourselves.
Inspired by fellow artist Felix Lopez own version of Michael Angelo's famous Pieta which resides within St. Peters Basilica in Rome, Italy.
