Mercy bears her soul
at the gate called beautiful
with supplication, she plea's
in sackcloth and ashes
discerning the times
in the twilight of judgement
as she mourns for the multitudes,
who wallow in the abyss of ignorance
before the great trumpet sounds,
unleashing unimaginable horrors
in a world of lost souls
inundated with lewd and
debauched passions

Thanks for sharing this piece with us. I just wish it had ended a little differently. That's not criticism, just me. The thought of mercy is something that is beyond most of us. That you could share your thoughts on it speaks highly of you. Most of us want judgement, want condemnation, because we don't see ourselves as bad as those 'others'. You caught it very nicely and even with the ending I still like it. RC
