Ignorance

How can the world be blind to all of life
Can they not see its worth and majesty
Yet even here the poor with naught but strife
Would torch the world for gain of ecstasy
For we who value who we are the best
Ignore the voice that calls us from within
And kill to take and burn all of the rest
Whilst we fall in the pace that we call sin
For we the arms of God cast all away
And think that man can rule without a guide
So why did we condemn His righteous way
And fell for shame and Death that is inside
Though we might stow our pain within a sheath
The spirit knows what cowers underneath
