Have They No Mercy

I don’t know where to start
But I know I am all heart
As I wear it on my sleeve
Quite literally, like you wouldn’t believe
And it may be silver and gold
But there are a thousand stories never told
Like him leaving me in the ashes
Of the realm where the fire clashes
With the ice of cold that reign
And they’re at it again
And there’s nothing that I can do
Except to write the stories of you
As you click another scene
And it is like some kind of bad dream
We are all living in
And there is all manner of sin
That goes unreported
How I wish this mission was aborted
In its infancy
Not like the flesh and blood of illiteracy
That I read between the lines on his face
And it is a fucking disgrace
To think this could go on
And I have been silent for so long
But something calls my voice to speak
And it’s not just because I’m weak
That I dare to try
To cross the line of why
As the children cry
And I watch them all die
Through the pixels on a screen
Do you hear the people scream
When you go to sleep at night
And, no, it is not alright
To just let it go
For the sake of spirituality and what you know
Is right to be
There is action that I can see
Moving the rope so taut
Into a line where what’s sold is bought
By those who need it most
I type these keys like a ghost
Who must haunt the halls of power
Because they do not make me cower
In fear and shaking skin
I just think of my love for Him
And how He faced down the dark
And his hands bear the mark
Of long ago in Palestine
Now we’re living the modern day war crime
That sears the skin of children free
And if it was up to me
I would break every gun
But they say that everyone
Must tow the same line
And it’s happening another time
To crack the glass sphere
Of the globe that, I swear,
Has better in it to show
But if you looked at the thing you wouldn’t know
