The heavens opened

God gives us light Education tells us this From parent to child Teacher to child

We question his existence As we grow older, smarter We grow more aware of life’s struggles The world does not bow down to you Society is dying around us

A god would not allow this We were told of his kindness We began to disbelieve We began to mock

The day he came to us The sky fell, the world shook Believers began to weep uncontrollably Non-believers stood nervously Hearts racing Lips dry

We were right about one thing He was unforgiving God’s children were disappearing Promised a place of peace and promise

God’s fallen were to remain To wander To suffer Live lives Bathing in the shade

Mothers plead for god’s forgiveness For the sake of sons and daughters Who did not believe Unforgiving

To leave earth to kill itself To return And torture the jokers What god is so cold?

The faithful rose in sunshine The faithless fell into darkness
