The sun is out
But I see only gray;
A perfect finish
To an exhausting day.

Drained emotionally,
Numbed with fears,
I wish I had the answers
That could dry up my tears.

Yet, those don’t exist
No solutions can be found,
No savior has manifested—
To death I am bound.

The angels they mock me,
The saints just look down;
The church is a stumbling block
Planted, like death, in the ground.
