\n Who
\n took away spring
\n stole all the glory
\n throwing our gardens of green
\n into these hills of scorched grass?
\n  
\n Who
\n dared to care
\n more about money
\n destroying everything in sight
\n forgetting earth is our only home?
\n  
\n Who
\n is so callous
\n to laugh at the suffering
\n of the sick poor yet pretend
\n to believe in a loving God?
\n  
\n Who
\n began all these wars
\n making mothers cry for children
\n searching for their bodies
\n in the chaos of destruction?
\n  
\n Who
\n robbed our hope
\n and all our wonder
\n burning heaven with dry
\n lightning to pierce the sky.
\n Who
\n are you
\n who made
\n the angels moan?
