Hello again God-
I’m sorry that I haven’t
talked to you much recently
Been thinking that I could handle
things on my own again.
I’m coming to you tonight God
Because I’m disturbed at the
recent turn of events in this nation.
In this world, everywhere you look
Someone’s upset with someone or
something else.
We have countries going after each
other because of differences in religion
in political views, and in the color of skin
Why can’t they just stop and look at what
they are doing to each other.
We have people hating each other
because it’s easier to hate than it
is for them to simply love another person
Why? Didn’t anyone ever teach them to love?
We have people going into schools
Shooting them up, killing people who were
simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
How was it their fault that someone was angry?
What did each individual person do to that one
angry person?
We have people playing the blame game.
Saying that it was someone else’s fault
that something happened. Why? Didn’t anyone
ever tell them to take responsibility for their own
actions?
God? I don’t know how much longer I can
personally continue to keep holding on,
when everywhere you look, there’s hate,
( I don’t like you for some reason)
blame, (This is YOUR fault, not mine)
anger, (You’ve made me so angry)
bitterness.
Why can’t you come home sooner?
Show people that they need to love
other people instead of hating someone
they don’t even know.
God, we could really use you.
I have all these questions and I have no
answers to them. We need divine intervention
We need you to come down to earth
and knock sense into us all
We get so caught up in all of the stuff that
happens, and we have all the excuses as
to why things happen the way they do.
but no one acknowledges your plan
for our lives.
You aren’t in schools anymore.
They took you out.
It offends people who weren’t brought
up in church.
Well Gee- Maybe if we had more kids
brought up in church- the world might be
a little different.
In the courthouse, your presence is denied
except for people swearing on your book
to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing
BUT the truth.
How can people tell the truth when most
times they don’t know WHAT the truth is
anymore?
In politcs you aren’t around
except for when people take your name in vain
because they want to make their point known.
Maybe if they stop taking your name-
People will listen.
You aren’t allowed anywhere anymore
because its always violating someone’s beliefs
someone’s insecurities. Their rights.
why? What are people afraid of?
You wanna know something God?
The biggest issue that I have with
all of the other religions?
You are the same God in EVERY religion
But no one can see it, you have over a 100 different
names-
No one cares.
Their God is better than my god.
No one GETS IT that
they are one and the same.
This speaks volumes to my frustration. Its an expression I relate to. I am glad to stumble onto this poem. I would submit this for publishing if I were you.
