Fie! Fie!! Relentless Lord!!!

A crippled devout is bedridden None in his family to earn His innocent, cherub children Are dying of starvation! With pouted lips they ask ‘O! relenting Lord hark! To us why are you so merciless?’ Immutably He replies, ‘—Because you are faithless!! ‘The extortionist though he commits sin, Prays me from his heart within!!’ Fie! Fie!! Relentless Lord!!! Compassionate, clement Death! Be not proud!!
