A large crowd of silhouetted figures faces a towering figure standing on a platform, arms raised. The scene is dramatically lit from behind, casting long shadows and creating a sense of awe or intimidation. The background is filled with beams of light radiating outward.

Totally unaccountable on all levels for all sins committed
Yesteryears, today and in the future for
Reasons unknown to most other than
Absolutely willful ignorance in giving power up,
Never to get back what has been given away,
To attain a sense of faux security.
