Perpetual

Seemed the end
the normal trend
the people sagged down low

low and behold
a man came along
shining with a glow

with a halo on above
the people all around
look up and they said

our savior is here
glory to all
and peace throughout the land

this man brought wisdom
he brought joy
but in the end he bled

hung on the cross
poked with a spear
and left til he was dead

this the fate
all prophets of peace
will, indeedly, share

for the ones with power
need send message
so no one else will dare

to bring just cause
to a world clouded in fog
so the money will be there's

leaving all citizens
globally insecure
and reaching to on high

praying for answers
not knowing the way
and always wondering, why?
