Heavenly Father

A lost girl is shown the world through a fallen angles eyes and she expresses her views

"O' Heavenly Father, who art in heaven"
is this the prayer which enslaves men
for is it not the beauty?
the wonder we daily see
Is it not the life we are given?
the forgiveness we fail to seek...
Is it these drugs that taint me?
Or the devil himself?
tell me O' father can a "priest" offer me "help"?
can a changing book help me see?
Your many wonders
the blessings we keep
O' beauty your grace
the many your face
to see only which takes faith
O' Heavenly Father
Light within the dark
guidance these bad times part
Is there where the humanity of man comes to part?
murder, war, genocide a sightless spot
burning, whipping, raping, an endless shot
O' heavenly father to blame you...
for but a sightless truth
cowering sins behind sightless eyes
closing lips to open lies
Seeking out Fear is what one can do
if only to keep away from the truth
Prayers and stanzas they sing
only to feel safe within your wing
Heavenly control they speak
but never for your guidance they weep
Heavenly father it is you I seek
