cries for help suffocated by hell's laughter <br />tears of pain rain pounding on forgotten oceans <br />brothers and sisters watch waiting the end <br />as waves of terror wash away my very essence <br /> <br />I hear the words of wisdom spoken by fools <br />lying lips pray with hands too proud to handle <br />hearts that won't humble immersed in lavish lives <br />unmoved by tormented souls they pretend to save <br /> <br />their sound surrounds my spirit: 'repent or die! ' <br />singing... while I burn in the fiery fire as I try <br />and in heaven, angel eyes don't even blink <br />as some souls rise - yet many more sink<br /><br />Marco Antonio Solano<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-be-or-not-to-believe/
