After the Onslaught

See the onslaught of hearts

of souls
people

not bruising
but dying

bleeding into the dry earth

falling like yesterday’s rain
and the day before that

but not tomorrow…
witches told the people
they would come
but they died and are gone

the myths are gone
but God Almighty remains

why do you sacrifice
yourselves for that?

you will surely die
soon enough

from sin...
from death...
from war...

God is ready
are you?
