Prayer For the Damned

Down on bended knee
Pleas for deliverance
Seem to fall
Upon deaf ears
"God can you hear?"
Screams of the damned
This plague consumes
The very membranes
Firing electric transmissions
Forsaken by choice
Left to decay
"Where are Your saints?"
All the sinners
Are on the stage
Titans of miscreants
Plan to overthrow
Your throne weeps
Lost to Your glory
These masked façades
Determined to destroy
But faith remains
Despite adversity
Maybe because of it
Warriors in the fray
Mixed between stars
Of universal dust
And collapsing belief systems
Story grows cold
As readers reject the cornerstone
Of those promised mysteries
Run although not weary
Listening for venerated
Shofar to announce
His prophesied return
Karmic balance ripping
Pages whispering the end
Sweetly welcomed from within.
