Tears of Sages

Is not what is sought mere illusion Shrouded in a haze of chaos and confusion That lays waste the creations of God Justified by a righteous façade Lines are drawn and defiantly broken By vicious acts instead of words spoken There cannot be truth in this With innocence cast to a vile bliss They stand with wisdom rendered blind Nicked the hope of all mankind Leaving wailing in its path Bleeding from the wounds of wrath Leaving those with true wisdom reaped Prayers are veiled in tears they weep They, who have sought the secrets of God’s heart Truth is their wisdom, seeming futile to impart
