Hymn of the world

Hymn of the world

Hymn I hear

In the earth spin

An eternal love

For God and peace

So how did man

leave his good piece?

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Howl I hear

In the earth spin

And its echo

Burning the dead fields

Good bye, man’s last good piece

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

When I listen to a temple

I hear fake prayers

I see Satan heirs

I see people wearing a cross

Or praying, in a day, five times

Doing the most horrible crimes

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Honest hearts aren’t many

Will they sing out loud

the hymn of the world?

Will they bring to the sky

the sun of faith?

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Will they feed the hollow souls?

Will they warm the frigid cores?

Show to the cruel ones

What’s fair and what’s unfair

Why care and why don’t care

 *   *   *   *   *   *    *   *

People here bleed

During night and light

They don’t know what they need

They just die unknown

Instead of hearing life sounds

I hear last breaths in a new tomb..
