Poem: 'Savage Grace!' by Rich Orth

Savage Grace!

by Rich Orth, 08/11/2018

Abhorrent behavior

Civilization's savior

Lambs slain

still they explain away

how saints and sinners

martyred daily

Fail thee...

As world's tumble

From this savage grace..

Lives and loves..simply defaced

How can one hide

Within this savage grace

Conceptions erased

Still we bow courteously

To this ...this Savage Grace

Free will we awaken

'fore without truth

We bleed in place

Fall into this...this Savage Grace
