WORKING FOR THE DEVIL

Less than twenty-four hours
Until the anniversary
Of when we lost our innocence
In the land of the free.

We’ve had our share of tragedies
From Mother Nature and our own
But this terror from a foreign land
Is the worst, that we have known.

The sickest part about that day
Was the reasons that they claim
That they were doing the bidding
Carried out in their gods’ name.

Martyrs in their crazy minds
Headed for some promised land
But the Devil is who welcomed them
In the world of the damned.

The worst part about it all
Are the ones who’ll take their place
Who keep Satan alive and well
Within, the human race.

This is a hard subject to approach, and you did it well. Too many people have lost their lives in the name of religion.  As we mourn the tragic losses, all we can do is pray to end the hate...   ~S~

Yet another day
in history
that will never be
looked at the same.

Well done, Abe.
Thank you.

(big hugggssssssss) It too saddens me deeply to see many equate their religion with violence, and truly NO holy spirit ever glorifies evil; their actions were based only on what they wanted to believe in and their own destructive rage! (sad sigh) If only the torch of Satan can be extinguished and  the flag of peace can be held high, God Bless You, I pray for the children of tomorrow and that they can be taught with the values of love and not hate, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Abe, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
