Child Witness (Lord Vicar)

Lone wolf walking, across the plain Eyes are watching from afar Red sun rising in the sky Silent witness, the lone wolf’s cry The child bears witness to the evil deeds of man The horror that he sees he cannot understand A loss of innocence can never be re-gained A soul that once was pure now indelibly stained Maiden working, all alone An act of violence, and seeds are sown Violation, a foul misdeed Mutilation, an evil creed The cost of honour, a price too high Misguided ideals, an ancient lie To think of killing in every breath No salvation can come through death
