We are guiltless . . .

Mosiah 12:14 --  "And now, O king, behold, we are guiltless, and thou, O king, hast not sinned; therefore, this man has lied concerning you, and he has prophesied in vain."

The leaders of the nations do not recognize their faults;
their people, too, would rather keep their failures in deep vaults.
When prophets plead repentance there is none to make afraid
 and the path of truth, less-trodden, becomes closed with stern blockade.
The Lord will crack the shells of despots, leaders, and their mobs,
until their insides melt like wax and ev'ry nerve end throbs.
From the house tops to the cellar, deeds of darkness must reveal
all the filth of mankind's doing -- O, how much can our God heal?
Mighty though He is to save, there's some, like wretched Cain,
who never come back to the Light and in the night remain.
Save me, O God, from tyrants both outside and well within,
that purity may rule my heart and never vote for sin!
