SIGHTLESS MIGHT:
[partA]
Pagan babies
Vagrant school boys
Trap the damsel In Junior High
Christian schoolgirl Reverend's daughter
Revered position In parishioners’ eyes
Spinster’s ogle They love the preacher
His words are golden A gift from god
His offspring holy Precious angels
Meant for greatness Why do they cry?
[partB] Tears they fall To mourn the fallen
A short life span God's sacrifice
Why did this happen? That darling child
What good can come From sightless might?
[partC] The guilty trod Upon deaf echoes
Of voices pointed At the sky
Repulsive actions A lack of morals
Why are we made In this design?
[partD] Frightened eyes stare From the shadows
Escape they want But that’s denied
Hostile eyes peer Into those shadows
Ears closed off To innocent cries
Alone is painful Especially for a child Familiar to love at home
Unwanted touches The mind goes blank
Why won’t they just Leave me alone?
She screams inside! Her heart is pounding!
She prays from Hell There’s no reply
She feels the hate Disguised as loving Spoiled forever
To sightless might
[Epilogue] The guilty trod Upon deaf echoes
Of voices pointed At the sky
Repulsive actions A lack of morals
Why are we made In this design?
