Cross

Prayers
Keep the spirit alive
When the tethers
Start fraying
And one dreams to survive
But nothing can be demanded
No deals can be struck
When facing
God
One can only beg
For good health and strength
And maybe some love
And while we are at it
Could you
Add a bit of luck
And bring death
To our enemies
And all of the above
Swarming voices
Can whisper or scream
In desperation and times of need
But to feed and breed
Has never been
Enough
Everything we touch
Turns to crumbling
Golden stone

As the earth bleeds
On its own
