A house of holy power
graced with hymns to the believer.
A place of prayer and peace
taken to its knees
by the mass hate of one man
that, himself, did not believe
in the rejoicing of others.
Bullets of racism
taking the lives of the innocent.
The symbols of hate
were told and teased
about what had to be done
to spread the word of ignorance
and how his hands
would be the ones
that would lead the sacrifice.
The world he belonged to
knew about the upcoming disgrace
and sat on their hands
and sealed their lips,
not believing of choosing not too.
No man could be so full of hate,
that had to be their thoughts
when they were told
about the manifesto.
Lived may have been saved
and the worshipers
could have continued to sing.
Only if the informed
believed all the hatred
in the given signs.
