Analysis of Dear God, again....
Joshua L. Holmes 1986 (u)
Falling, fading, crashing down,
this forsaken world dies.
Daily i sit and contemplate,
the idea of truth and lies.
An unborn childs life stolen away,
before he takes his first breath.
A young girls innocence grotesquely destroyed,
because of a thought in a sick fucks head
Yet this sick world turns, life goes on,
business as usual again.
I cannot help but question God,
was this part of your fucking plan?
