(acrostic)  
 
War and poverty throughout each nation 
Hellish armies march in formation 
Eternal destruction - battle cry of damnation 
Nothing seems to stop their destination 
 
Abandoned children - broken - left to die 
Natures once bountiful earth - in short supply  
Greed and corruption - we cannot deny  
Enlightenment - rejected as a lie 
Liberties taken for granted - gone awry 
Spite - moral scar of mankind - evils ally 
 
Compassion held in captivity - deprivation 
Revelation revealed - the end is near - desperation 
You ask - is there salvation... 
...when angels cry
