(1)Draw near, O nations, to hear, and hearken, oh peoples! Let the earth listen, and all that fills it; The world, and all that comes from it. (2)For the Lord is enraged against all the nations, and furious against all their hosts, he has doomed them, has given them over to slaughter. They say "They're cleansing the world with fire" The sun dips down, dying in the far west, Turning over wagons makes a weak wall, The hoard barely slowing in rushing death, Soldiers, mothers, infants all in last rest, Impaled and flailed murder to one and all, Then riding off leaving one human breath. The sun rose on but blood and smoking ash, Nothing was taken but life and living, The sole survivor was thrown down the well, Too hasty in killing too quickly cast, A night remembered for no forgiving; In his tenth year he was walking through hell. They say "They're cleansing the world with fire" Gloom |

Professor Gloom, And once again we profess to be humans! I sometimes wonder why God made us. Why would he want to make a world for us to tear apart. I know it is not for me to question His will. But as one of those humans, I do wonder. Once more you have opened our eyes. ME |
