Prayers Unanswered
I prayed for you why quite a hopeless canto
indeed the angels turned their backs sighing
refrain from singing lovely hymns the cherubim
clinging with desperation while the holy spirit
actually gloated above the bishops nest of pure
kindness I gathered my prayers for you would sink
straight into unanswered levels of unconsciousness
a sleep state something right out of Dante' inferno
ravished by fire hindered by the rush of smothering wind
splashed within the sheer comfort of finally being drowned
at your own baptism feasting on unsavory malice craving
bitterness that you left behind with murder mayhem
confusion and haste pleading with me to pray for you
what kind of jester sends prays to heaven directly
from the dark one hissing cackling taunting laughter
that you bestow merely by simply asking this of me
why my mere soul tattered and torn just from simply
witnessing your presence your disturbing earthly acts
and you looked so vague so in need of this one last wish
uttered to enter into the mighty kingdoms passage
that never feels pain never bleeds never coughs
never sigh why only in your presence would
heaven fall and crumble beneath the black sea
you'll continue to reach for me until you realize
that you're already deceased evil so valid no tears
for you no burial no mourning no grieving pure evil
allowed to go on living on earth suffering all your deadly
vices forever smelling, choking, smoking forever coughing
forever dying the same death I shant pray for you Siar
I shall continue praying for my own soul hindered continuously
by your untimely wrath breathing suffrage and carnage
surrounding me with the infamous selfish hatred of mankind
