"How Art Thou Fallen"



Hatred...
The power of the word is so often under estimated...
The act of being said is done swiftly
Without cause or care to the weight it carries
The power and emotion contained within it
Words become the easiest weapons used...
The fire is built...
All meant to carve, slice, and dissect the soul
Fuel actions that cannot be undone
Resentment takes full control
Twisting the cold
Common sense is abandon
Scorn, cruelty, spite and prejudice seep in
Removing the warmth and kind...
Bitterness fails to recognize the difference
As it burns through the tenderness
Scaring memories and the heart
Pure childhoods are now left with marks that cannot be erased
Permanent stained hearts are branded with words and actions
Turning peoples light into darkness by blocking out their sun
Clouds of outrage form
The tide rise
A fierce wind blows in...
Storm clouds burst
Raining tears over the land
All the while the ones who once proclaimed their righteousness
Now beg, plead, and bargain for peace
And for the raging storm to cease...
We are the makers of the bad weather over our heads
And now they stand deep within the mud and heavy current of water flowing through
Screaming...
Its raining!”
