Cry Us A Miracle...

Cry me a miracle!

How could this be?

Why take lives?

When there's all the world to see.

Why must we hate; take revenge; inflict pain,

Sooner or later,it just had to reach me...

 

That silent cry; mute is now removed,

This voice needs to be heard, for it's the voice of millions

This evil needs to go...needs to be shaken away,

Anger grows in the heart...no comfort can fully satisfy...

 

I liked walking in the rain because no one knew I was crying,

Now, it seems as though I'm crying a river; and my river is one of many leading to this big ocean.

"The land we love"...is this adoration?...Is this what we truly facilitate in our world??

I get on my knees,ready to pray..yet I break down in tears as I'm unable to keep track of those I pray for.

 

As one cry is answered, another awaits me...

Awaits my internal torment; it's initiation.

What can we do?

What steps do we take to fix this?

The real question is...can WE fix this??

 

The devil rejoices as another life is taken...

Another life taken leaving loved ones to weep.

Weep without shame...weeping like no other...

Weeping that will continue...almost eternally...

I say eternally since memories will always exist

These memories allow us to reminisce on the past...

But when we are brought back to reality....we realize that not only is the memory in the past..but also the person who helped create it...

 

What is becoming of this world...

Are we all expected to live in fear?

 

I'LL TAKE A STAND! God DID NOT die just for us to suffer under the hands of the enemy!

Weeping forever won't solve it...

But these tears...I just have to release...

Though these tears won't end for now..

All I can hope to do is cry us a miracle....

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Just know that he is in a better place, away from all the violence the world has to offer...unfortunately it has to be away from you and everyone else. But fear not, for your friend is always watching over you.

As for the poem, I did lose interest half way through. The title could be a little more alluring. 'Cry Us a Miracle' sounds a lot like a church hymn or some corny religious song. Maybe the poem would look better if it were in the form of a story rather than a poem. Separating the pieces by means of poetry makes the story lose all the flavour and all the pain you are trying to express.

Good job nonetheless.
