Through a looking glass..

Like a ghost walking the Night,
It steals you
Like the Moon steals the Light.
Ignorance reigns with fists up high
Hands lifted over the shadows
Of the Bleeding and Bleeders
Have we no sympathy for the Hungry?
For they hunger without ceasing
Nothing left to feed,
They feed upon the cold,
The lonely and the world itself
Sink not thy Maw
Into my soul and being
But taste my Word and Drink my Blood!
For can there be no other way
To escape from the Hunger
That seems to rip and tear from the inside out?

How does it seem to taste so good,
The sins of generations upon generations!
Colour like that of poison
Yet the fragrance like that of Blood Red Roses
With the Taste of Pomegrante and Sanguine.
I cannot let go
I would rather suffer all eternity
Than to leave this behind
Turn me to stone and break me in two.
For where my heart is
There dwells my treasures!
Treasures of the earth by blood and bone.
For I know not the blessings of Spirit and Soul,
Because none of you will ever give up
Your precious little Gift
Hiding it behind closed gates and comforts.
Why must you keep Salvation only to yourselves
And let us fester and rot before our Ignorance and Hunger?
How could you?!

It hurts so much
I writhe like the mad man
That I am, full of twisting and gnashing of teeth!!
How can this pain be so unbearable?
What have I done?
Where are my accusers?
Where are my benefactors?
Where is my Savior?!
Am I truly damned to this Endless staircase
Of suffering and clashing of bone and sinew?
He calls like the storm
And comes like that of whisper to the ear!
Why have thou chosen me to suffer
To spend the rest of my life like this?
How can you ever truly understand
How it is to suffer like this?
..But You do and that makes all the difference.

We look upon this generation
With worn eyes from deceit
And tattered hearts
That this world has left us!
Receiving nothing from this age
But the chilling of apathy
And Ceaseless conflict that will never stop
Beating upon my weak and cold frame.
Take this away from me!
I beg of You for I can no longer take it!
Hunger hangs upon my flesh and bone,
And Ignorance closes my heart, by tooth and nail!
Pain shatters through my frame
Like spikes driven through glass and blood!
Please take world from my eyes
For I can no longer hope!
For I could no longer see!
For I would no longer want!
End me and all will be taken away.

Yet not my will
But Yours be done
On earth as it is in Heaven!
I've shown you my hands,
You washed them clean.
I've laid my head
You took the nails driven upon my skull.
I've shown you my heart,
You driven the black away to the endless.
I've shown you my world,
You took it from my shoulders.
To face this world anew
As you have faced my world!
They make me bleed,
And I will lick their wounds.
They strike me with curses and slander,
And I will bless them without ceasing.
They drive the nails upon my hands,
But I will not give up on them,
Just as You have not given in!
Amen.
