Vileness; violation; violence --
these things must find their time and place
and planet earth has been generous --
providing blood and death that the game may play.

The people of earth have suffered dearly
the rule of evil many a long day;
the rule of hate many a long night;
each begotten within a web of fright.

Of mayhem and murder
earth knows so much;
of oppression of the weak,
all of her ways do reek;
of genocide, butchery and slaughter
her gods boast in ancient writings!

Bring down the walls of stone --
Kill the men and kill the babes!
Rape the women, enslave the young!
Bring their gold and silver to the temples;
Make free of the booty for yourselves --
your god has blessed you with victory:
rejoice and forever remember this day!

So it has been on planet earth,
and so it shall continue to be.
For the will to change these horrors that are
has not been found in the human mind --
too many yet are those who choose
to conquer and to rob; to enslave and to kill
to some Devil's music that will never be still.

And who shall shed even one tear
for planet earth and her dying people?
Who shall look down upon her wounds
with eyes of compassion to heal her children?
No one can cry
- for they have done the crying
and not a single tear is left to shed.
No one will come
- for they already came
and for that they were killed.

Man chose his ways over those of life,
killed love offered and inherited strife.

Thank you Midnitesun for the reminder that some still cry and attempt to change
the face of Earth.
