A Requiem for Christ

The beginning is the end

is the beginning. Everything

is coming undone and falling

apart just like mankind's broken

heart. Faith is in absence, grace

is gone and mercy is done with

hope. Alone, mankind is receiving

none of God's blessings causing

the pews in every church to be

empty. Love is a scream of anguish

beckoning serenity to leave its presence

erasing any trace of innocence.
