The world, we are groaning
We stammer our prayers
We reach in the darkness
We crawl in despair
We're searching for Saviors
We're searching for depth
We want to know love
Though it scares us to death
It's the promises of hope that's most terrifying
It's the questions unanswered that causes unrest
A world of defiance kneels down denying
As souls uncertain are slowly dying protest
Why the strongest men yield when their lives are so broken
Tormented as days to years pass with futures vanquished unspoken
The truth behind a childs' scream, stream.
The agony behind a mothers shattered sons' dream
The wife who's drowning and waving her defeated arms
It's him who is haunted by the victims' blood
Surrounded by open wounds and mud
Of every man who fought and stood against his worst
Insanity prolonging what little faith unscathed is cursed
The soldiers that fight without a cause
It's the blood they have spilled that cause us to pause
I hold on tight to memories
And dream another reverie
I pray to One who knows the names
Of every demon we both claim

Very cool read. Flow keeps changing, doesn't get boring. Interesting messages throughout, though it doesn't sound preachy.
