Restitution

Is there no food for the hungry?
No peace for the weary below?
Are the lost not restored to their loved ones?
Or the fallen to those they have known?

The sun rises on all that are living,
And so sets on the fearful at heart.
And the moon shines on all the deceitful,
So the moon shines on all in some part.

So still we will seek restitution-
~Though we know it is not of this earth~
For we seek to escape fallen nature,
Though fallen we were from our birth.

Yet still we will fear fallen virtues,
For virtues were fallen through Eve.
For there, in the garden by Satan
Were the first of mankind so deceived.

So because of the grace we have lost here,
Beneath sun, moon, and stars up above.
We now know of the pain of the weary,
The lost, and the hungry unloved.

With this knowledge we'll seek compensation,
For the wrongs that have victimized all.
And as humans we'll seek restoration,
Here on earth, beyond God and the fall.
