New Life Reborn
by Michael Doyle
The new life reborn
Knows its misery
Common sense would mourn
This loss of such history
As a life lived in pain
There are questions that strain
A thousand cuts into our morality
Are the price of approaching immortality
Like pawns on chessboard games
We are played out in the names
Of a god that burns our souls like fire
As Heaven and Hell come to conspire
Against the heretics who rage
Turning page after page
Favors and threats keep in play
All that madmen dread to say
God is God as man is man
Each doing as it is that he can
The ghouls who speak teach us all
The bitter lessons that cannot forestall
The painful truth that we regret
All the torrid moments that we cannot forget
We cry out in anguish and sorrow
Lifting up our hands in our prayers for tomorrow
