My faith still holds
but my soul hurts
from everpresent violence
striking the hearts
of our children
fiercely, in their name
fiercely, in the name of a god
falsely, in the name of destiny
My faith still holds
not in the violence of the weak
not in the violence of the strong
But who do the children hear
whilst the violence is so loud
And what will the children do
while my soul hurts
(from The Nev)
