"Forgive Them"

God looked at His vast oceans,

And all He could behold

Were ships and planes with bombs and guns,

And men whose hearts were cold.



God searched His great lands

And much that He did find

Was lust and greed and death,

And loved ones left behind.



God shook His head in anguish,

And heard the words anew,

"Forgive them God, my Father,

They know not what they do."
