Chapter 1

What a world!

In deepest dark,

The hearts of men,

Blackened to their core.

The blood of the innocent,

Cries from the ground,

Yet no justice prevail.

No hand to right the wrong.

Stamping feet

Where will they find rest?

The earth trembles still,

As restless souls wander,

Longing to be seen.

The corrupted hearts of men,

Bound by selfish desire,

Take pleasure in cruelty.

Who then  can save?

And yet, in the bleakest hour,

When brutality covers the land,

A voice speaks:

"Remain still"

His guidance stands,

Firm and sure,

All he asks: "peace"

Soon the cries of the innocent

Will be silenced.

For he shall rise and

"Slay the wicked"

The voices of the innocent

Will at last be heard.

And then,

Peace shall remain.
