The Heavens Tear

 

'My God!  My God!'
  'Why hast Thou forsaken me?!'

Pleas from God's beloved
  throughout the epochs
  dying on our streets.

The cries shatter my heart,
  drive stakes into His palms,
  darken the sky and our souls.


'My God!  My God!'
  'We have forsaken Thee!'
  
Our bodies ravaged by pestilence born of opulence.
  Our minds soured by tales penned to betray us.
  Our voices strangled by vitriol and malice.
  Our souls ravaged by fear turned hate.

We fall prostrate before You,
  pleading for forgiveness,
  aching for the grace
  that only You
  can bestow
  upon us.
