ANOTHER VOICE, ANOTHER VICTOR
Written for Neil

6/17/07

This hour of darkness wishes to consume even the smallest hope,
Leaving desolation and destruction of catastrophic magnitude,
Not content merely to conquer a free world,
Desiring the righteous to consider death synonymous with solace.

Hand in hand evil works it’s deception upon the people
Through ignorance of mind and striking terror in our hearts--
Blinding the innocent eyes with twisted propaganda-laced terminology
Using the weakest and targeting the strongest, an infiltration starts.

Liars, the lovers of hate seething inside against liberty and prosperity,
Democracy, family, self-achievement, truth, justice, and cartoonish offenses all;
Cloaked behind untouchable positions of religion or politics
Their hellish plans sow decadence, protected by crafty perversion of law.

With courage granted to stand in the midst of this darkness
And proclaim unwaveringly that which is right and true
Directly from the one holy source of all of life
Comes the strength to light the way through.
From the depths of a guileless heart, the analysis is fair
Relentlessly his voice of reason echoes enlightenment through the human mind
And clearly articulates facts that left rhetoric had kept unshared.
Through study, by obedience, in faith, devoted to God
This mere mortal man, a victor over unseen demons has trod.
