"I never knew what could make you so proud // But now I see you grin in victory / A monster's deathwish a monstrosity"

Monstrosity Monstrosity of a monster's deathwish Wearing hell's halo and hovering high Above a ruined planet's deathbed scene Mushroom cloud like a monstrous jellyfish Soaring like a damned angel in the sky Too late to contemplate what might have been But not too late to mourn what we have lost Our lives were lies we could not bear the cost Of being our own gods and holding in These trembling hands the scales of grace and sin We dropped them and they clattered from our hands They shattered and I hope God understands And who am I you ask me who am I? Just someone who is too alive to die So many times I asked you begged you why But each time and each day all you would say Is you knew best and I must join the rest Just keep my eyes down follow and obey But you have killed my world are killing me Monstrous jellyfish of a mushroom cloud I never knew what could make you so proud But now I see you grin in victory A monster's deathwish a monstrosity +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV

I do not like to go into these dark places since I am already in my own. Still. Solidarity feels good to know. Thank you, Stevie. Love and peace to you. Regis

Deep and dark Steven with a sense of foreboding doom but just a hint of hope in there for an explanation from the higher powers that be. As usual you weave your imagery in widening circles drawing your readers in. Very good ;my friend.
