Dear God
Dear God,
She queried with a plea,
How can people do these horrible things,
And commit them to thee?
A murder here,
Hate crime there,
Everyone living in fear,
How is it fair?
The love of your neighbor
No longer exists
There is no longer favor,
No longer can our problems easily be fixed.
Dear God
How can life go on as so?
There are only so many lives we can lose
There are only so many people to go.
Dear God
Why do your children act this way?
Why do they think they act in your name?
Dear God,
The say “we believe”
Then they go breaking hearts
Putting people on the streets
Tearing families apart
Under the two words “We believe”
Dear God
How can people be so cruel?
They eating meat while we eat gruel?
Dear God,
They fatten themselves
While we starve
They say they know thee, and thy will
But they are wrong –
As our family and friends bodies become still
The nights are cold and long
Dear God
Help me be strong
Help me to know thee,
Help me to never forget
I know that thou knowest me
And as I follow thee, I have no regret.
Dear God
Do they know thee?
In my opinion, nay
But we all have our own religious beliefs
We all have the right to believe in you our own way
Dear God,
We do not have the right to rip away others lives for our belief
Dear God
Please offer your children relief
Dear God
We believe
