The pain of earth

The pain of earth

Anger grief and shame rock my being.
It's an assault to my very person
It cuts deep into the heart of a man
Where it slowly eats him from the inside out
It devours him with sly intent
It maliciously rips everything he holds
dear, Everything

What to do? Can this damage be undone?
The injustice, can it be put right?

It hunts you and slowly kills you.
Laughing as your life, your livelyhood is stripped
from your bones. It'll take all that you have
Just for the spite of it. Then the shame comes
The shame of being human, of having faults
and making mistakes

Are we all doomed? To a slow emotional and
spiritual death? They rob us of our morals
they take what they should not, robbing us blind.
And smiling with pure evil.

Can this evil be undone? I pray with all that
I am, all that I have left. I mourn and
cry out, begging to be taken out. Pinned in a
position of grief, slain with pain. Wrought
with rightous anger. And yet slowly dying

Will you take my hope as well ?
