Our world delivers

our small children

to be slaughtered

at the hands of adults

once disciplined

and taught and standing by,

we do as we always

have done here,

preach our gospels

spread our prayers

around this wasteland,

our home

away from home,

hoping for discovery

and recovery of

all our sins and

nothing ever changes

not even the

sin of goodness

can be forgiven here.
