    Voices scream into my consciousness
    Wails of mothers weeping for babes cursed to be born
    Lamentations of spirits unbroken by the passions of the lash
    Whimpers of daughters writhing at hands with beastly scorn

    Shouts of fathers angered by attempts failed to intercede
    Cries of those who set themselves against inhuman enemy
    Protests of sons revolted with their creed
    Sighs of those who took that fatal step off into infinity

    Praises of those convinced their salvation's in the sky
    Confessions of aspirations beaten by fears
    Groans of those who knew the way to go was die
    Pleas, begging mercy, fill my ears

    Heavenly Father! They implore I appear
    A dirge floods the Earth with my tears

    Another strong and intense poem. It is obvious that you are a very religious man, your poems are deeply rooted in religious connotations, I enjoy your writings, but feel you should try writing in a different vein. You have a definate talent and should not limit it yourself to a specific style. Don't get me wrong, I am a Fan - I would just like to see something different from you. Another Great Job!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
