The Means To An End
two thousand and ten years
after Christ birth
one would think there'd be
peace on earth
all the laws and commands
having been in place
showing our impudence
and our disgrace
love one another?
in this place?
evil and destruction
ever before our face
and having been given laws
impossible to follow
seeing miracles but finding them
hard to swallow
we have faith
and are guided by his hand
but death and destruction
are taking over the land
angels are wondering
why did God make man
why has confusion reigned
over Gods plans
but dare not they ask
about the hoax
or how much evil the demons see
before they not believe in God's
heavenly host
who are they
that left and divorce
while love still burned
caring not the consequences
of the contempt they have earned
why are they capable
of malice deemed diabolical
evil intent
destruction undeniable
what cause have they
to destroy the created
innocent with the guilty
with horrible intentions
unclean and filthy
where was that first love lost
like a burned up candle
or melted like frost
where did their love go?
kept under a mattress
flown out a door
when will evil cease to be
will they lose there will
and be still like trees
no eyes no ears
no mouth to talk
planted in the ground
no legs to walk
no skin to feel the hot or cold
just seasons yearly
while eternity roles
NO! they have the fire
hot and ready for them
in an inexaustable amount
of fuel in the flames they swim
a fire that will burn
much longer than the sun
for the kind of evil
they called fun
