And It Came Falling

Choirs of evil with lethal guns or microphones
Drumming with bomb here and there
Rain of fear pouring on all and sundry
Going to farm alone,
A forbidden mission

Some child missing
The rulers kissing
Wealth of the nation the real thing they savour
"Dream on your bed and wake in the monster's cave"
The danger that looms

Tears of mothers in the forest
In futile search of the ribs missing
Prick the heaven in its honest
And it came falling

Falling,
The home is falling
The evil we nurse' and shield' falling
In pity the world' watching
No place to hide
Oh Saviour, take our side
Save us

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
