The words are coming yet again
I grab my pen and begin the struggle once more
My emotions splashing onto the page
Eyes closed feeling like someone has their hand on my brain
Speaking in tongues trying to decipher the meaning
I can feel the wings wrapped tightly around me
Are my words that of scripture, or are they blasphemy
What do I do, I fall to my knees
Hoping for salvation
Yet I see the babies dying is this really intelligent design
How can it be that pain is the answer
The eyes of the masses stitched close
I wish for them to be opened
Can we stop the violence, or has it gone to far
Muslim, Christian, Jewish and everything in between
Have they all forgotten the words of their God
Make it simple, if it hurts you then others should not have to face it
We are all humans in the long run
Souls encased in protective wrappers
I shed tears and blood for all those that have fallen
I don't want to be like the movies
I want to be like Christ
I may not be Christian
But I would sacrifice my life for the masses
They say one man can not change the world
But I am willing to challenge the theory
I will fight for humanity
Till my dying breath

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.
