Where Are You God?

Just some thought on life in general....

There's people who are homeless, living out on

the streets.

Some are too cold,some too hot.

Most are starving.

They have needs that need to be met.

Where are you God?

 

There are husbands letting thier anger get

out of control.

Thier wives need a safe place to hide as his

fist comes at her face....

Where are you God?

 

There are childern hiding in thier homes, as

bombs explode outside, and solidars are marching by.

There is no safe place for them to grow and play.

Where are you God?

 

A single mother cries at night in her bed, after putting

her five childern to bed in a one bedroom apartment.

She doesn't know where they will be sleeping tommorrow

night. Because they will be evicted.

Where are you God?

 

Here I am.

I am fed.

I have a home.

I am safe.

I am free.

 

I know that someone is whatching over me.

My needs have been met.

I ask God, why haven't thiers?

Why have mine?

 

He asks me to go.

To help needs be met.

To look for others in need.

 

So,I get up.

My hand goes on the front door knob.

I head out in the world.

Looking for needs I can meet.

Well said. I heard where God is. He is in you.

Sinful acts are like a cancer; they grow until it is out of contol touching the innocent. We are all sent out to aid those who are in need. One way a heavy cancer treatment works against cancer. We who feed the hungry, give aid to the down trodden and give others a safe place to rest from their pain. We show where God is. He is inside each repented soul.

[Ethan Alexander]

that is sad,that that happens!

[Jay Ray]

Yeah....where is he!

[Guardian]

I liked it. I thought there were some places where the flow could have been a little better but it was still very powerful and very blunt. And also, so true. It's a question I've often asked myself and it's nice to see that someone else feels the same way.

[~*The Writer In Me*~]

Awesome poem. If only more people were more like you and did their share to help those in need.

Hello Dalaina,
This is very thought provoking and moving at the same time.You have asked a lot of the same questions many of us do, and then come to realize that God resides in you, and through you He will help the needy. Hopefully, enough people will read this beautiful piece and their inner spirit will awaken with God's will, and maybe, just maybe, in time, there will be peace on Earth and no more needy people. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us.
Take care and have a wonderful day.
hugs
Don
