Torn

When my soul bursts free

Of this painful prison

Of human limitations

I will see your golden face

And all of my past pain

Will be obliterated by the force of love

Now as I am restlessly breathing

After enduring the pain you caused me

I do not really know how ever I could survive

Without love

Humans turn dark and seek vengeance

When threatened

The primal impulse to defend will also destroy

And its often this that takes a human heart

Deep into the fires of hell

It was not God who caused this suffering

By we humans who tore our souls away

From compassion

Mercy

Tolerance

Grace

Forgiveness

Understanding

And love
