Santa Maria (The Holy Virgin)

Santa Maria
By Hasan Shabbaz




The times were depraved
An era of corruption
The rule of subjugation
Our souls, were in decay
You came, to show the way.

No one on earth was sane
People killed and maimed
Over and over, and then again
One mortal, the other betrayed
With you, the world would be saved.

Each mortal would crave
For the others partner
The mighty would enslave
The weak, always in danger.

We fought for possession, for might
We loved, only obsession and vice
Out went, all the light
In came, the plagues, and lice.

The earth, was consumed with greed
Every mortal, was a mini-satan
The earth, life would bleed
And hatred, abounded in every nation.

But almighty God chose you, Mary
For you were pure in spirit
And in heart, we know it
Nothing compares, not even a fairy.

For Virgin Mary was on the path
The one David saved from Goliath
For Virgin Mary was a supreme believer
While every other sage a deceiver
For Virgin Mary was free from greed
No jealousy, no spite, no monetary greed.

But look at the us all now
It reminds you of your time
When all prayed to be famous
And all enjoyed crime
Don’t you recognize something?

Look at us all now
We pray and then abuse
Every word is explosive now
Say it and we light a fuse
Don’t you recognize something?

Someday I will leave in peace
The eternal peace, the rest
Then I will not need to weep
The eternal peace, the rest
And you will see us all
Our Virgin Mary.
