A Moment To Inflict

Today was the day No children left to play Today is the day Any words are worthless to say Thoughts beyond the point of recognition Judgments twisted into indecision Salvation lacked the grace of superstition Today was the day No children were left to play Today is the day Words will do nothing but get in the way Hollow-point, solid-shell It makes no difference, kills just as well Forsaken angels bring about their version of hell Today was the day Pop quizzes for all the children Today is the day You could die from the answer given Immortalized by a phrase Martyred for her faith Oh, to see the grimace on the Devil’s face Today was the day No one will ever forget Today is the day Just a moment to inflict
