Love, hallowed was your name <br />Before mankind deformed it <br />Now they use your name in such vain <br />I think they have destroyed it <br /> <br />What once was a promise, true and pure <br />Mankind twisted its meaning to suit their destructive needs <br />Its original meaning lost forevermore <br />This was done to cloak their evil deeds <br /> <br />Before you brought us unmeasured happiness <br />But now you sow only misery <br />They contaminated you in their recklessness <br />Now you devastate us unmercifully <br /> <br />If only we could go back and change <br />And what mankind have corrupted <br />Would our land be so deranged? <br />Or could your joy again reign undisputed? <br /> <br />Now we live in a dark territory <br />That is untouched by your grace <br />This desolate land that lays before me <br /> Is why mankind will never see Gods true face<br /><br />Tyrone Wingfield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-we-use-your-name-in-vain/
