Isaiah 61.
I saw hatred fly on stolen wings today.
The fires of hell unleashed on the innocent.
Shattering the morning.
I saw heroes wearing blue and red today.
Carrying the innocent to safety.
Their friends' lives above their own.
I heard the rush of angels' wings today.
Carrying the heroes to their home,
As a lone flag flew amidst the rubble.
I felt God cry today.
His eyes filled with sorrow and His wrists scarred
As the raindrops fell.
I heard a nation on its knees today.
Our prayers, the light of a thousand candles,
Burning as the fires among the smoldering debris.
I see justice flying on silver wings today.
The fiery trails of the angels in close formation
With the contrails of the fighters.
I'll see peace fly on a dove's wings one day.
When there will be no more death or pain.
When hatred will murder innocence
never again.
