To whom? And Why? Do Men's souls cry? In darks of night On bleakest morn? To what I say? Do these men pray for comforts 'gainst the deeds of Man? Who torch and blaze, **** and raze to the ground this Others land. The Women cry and shriek and wail. In vain. In temples set alight. those strong stone walls, Now barred up doors, Protect this flock You Lord of light. And now men praise! Call forth his name. For in his name they duly came. And to proclaim? Death. And only death Is His lasting vein.
