all of us
come and go
family names
seem to disappear
those crimes
that steal away
innocent times
reluctant people
those that are
reticent tribes
there are cruel people
who are to blame
war in God's name
they too pay
such foolish ways
pave the way
some heartless future
those greatest sins
surely God will
one day come
condemn cruel
drag fools away
torment viciousness
in hell's burning sea
evil will not
always rule
surely love
and kindness
shall somehow find
some better way
a blessed fondness
a sacred place
where peace will rise
where love will stay
