Remembrance

Unchecked motives,
And bloody weeds of suicide,
A thousand awry ambitions,
And blurry perspectives of heaven..

Kill God's..
And inflict misery,
A thousand innocent souls,
And bruised and battered the bodies lay..

Holocaust!
... In the name of God?
Raise hell!
... In the name of God?
Lower bodies and dig mass graves,
And justify it all, all in the name of God..

Remembrance lingers,
And ambitions are long dead,
A thousand lonely suicides,
And a handful of elegies for the dead..
