King of Righteousness

Thorns lament
The daunting face of a beggar
one that smiled at a child
understanding words through insight merits

You become the barb wired fences 
where to the blind idiots holding guns 
a man of understanding acquires skill
cursing the innocence for even breathing 
there it becomes the victim of obsession
a word to the wise in their riddles

Torn asunder everything and the streets become a battleground
let us wantonly ambush the innocent 
swallowing them alive like those who go down to the pit

Scarred are the children looking down one barrel 
with a man holding the trigger
I hold back my feet from their path

The truth is the greatest nerve shot
as they make haste to shed blood 
such are the ways of all who get gain by violence

To violate the rights of another 
I am bitten by the by the sword of injustice
wisdom cries aloud speaking 
where fools hated knowledge

God gave us the word and strength to use it wisely
good council has been ignored

The sweet talking sting of a scorpion
you will eat the fruit of your ways

What has ended will become better in the end…
every trumpet carries the truth inside it blasts
when panic strikes like a storm

Disfigured in the course of our minds
sated with their own devices

We all in the end are prophesying our way to peace 
without dread of evil
