Depression

A.W. Nutter
 
Sympathetic voices
Whispering in the ear
Angels in remorse
 Shedding their tears

Droplets of water
A mocking serenade
The darkened chamber
They chose to invade

Alone in the darkness
Depression transcends
Engulfed by wickedness
Prayers quickly end

Pleading for death
Ignored by the Trinity
In a reprobates path
On the edge of insanity

Consumed with fear
Overwhelmed with pain
Salvation for beggars
In hell I’ll remain

The Lords Prayer
A.W. Nutter
Our father who art in heaven
Forgetting the son and his holy sacrament
Wandering in a maze, looking for atonement
 Disavowing God, we bow to evil temptations
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Hallowed be thy name
We constantly profane the Kings monicker 
 Rebuking displays regarding the creator
Disbelieving in the immaculate conception
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
Freewill creatures ignoring the warnings
Hastily striding toward the end of mornings
He has set the time for earth’s annihilation
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
On earth as it is in heaven
Adam and Eve the first created beings
Creation immoral from the very beginning
Inviting sin into their perfect habitation
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Give us this day our daily bread
Refusing to eat from the table of life 
Dining on lies, as we wallow in strife
Children dying from spiritual malnutrition
God is growing weary of his sinful creation

Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
The world was cleansed by the great flood
Human’s given hope, by a sacrifice of blood
Unable to forgive we await a fiery termination
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
Willing walking the path of unrighteousness
Passing the point where we can seek forgiveness
Time has run out for this sinful congregation
The son has returned destroying creation
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever amen
