Such blasphemous extravagance
as limb is torn from limb;
expense is unaccountable,
is this the final sin?
There is no god, yet pain is god,
and God is very real,
amid the carnage and the fear,
the hatred that we feel
And did God look through human eyes
and touch with human hands,
and did a human mind discern
love’s seed sown in these lands?
Verses 4-6 follow
