Anne Frank - too late for mercy

Has this earth lost its axis

I thought so when the Nazis took over ~ goodbye Anne Frank 

Beautiful innocent child 

Locked up in the attic of inhumanity; 

Then I read the news today

About a bombing

The running, 

  The wronging 

The ringing in these ears 

After the exploding 

In the market 

The dying in the markets 

No more singing 

Only bleeding on a 

Miserable day in Bahgdad 

And I say to the Lord, 

Who is doing the sinning 

The lying, the cheating; 

The plotting; the beating 

I am lost Lord

When I hear of death 

I am lost in the desert 

Dying of thirst 

Take me Lord

Instead of the suffering children

Killed by a bomb 

One black day in a market 

Yet I fear my plea 

Is too late for mercy
