Dear God

This is a poem I wrote about the absence of God, and the ultimate consequences.

Dear God I am writing,
and I hope this reaches you,
because people are dying,
and I don't know what to do.

 

I've called you, and called you,
till my prayers seem like a drone,
but your line never rings,
and all I get's a busy tone.

 

Your absence is noticed,
and people are scared.
There's talk that you're missing,
or that you simply don't care.

 

Soldiers are dying,
in a war in the east,
and it saddens my heart,
to say that worries me least.

 

Because bombs are being planted,
for no reason at all,
and there are shootings and murder,
as we shop at the malls.

 

Psychos open fire,
on our children in class,
and the hatred around us,
is gathering en mass.

 

Love thy neighbor,
no longer applies,
and paranoia is growing,
as each innocent dies.

 

Drugs are being produced,
at an alarming rate,
and dependency is growing,
in all fifty states.

 

Cancer is spreading,
and so is disease.
Suicide rates are growing,
by increasing degrees.

 

The children are spoiled,
and the rod has been spared,
because they ignore the scripture,
they think is unfair.

 

People fight to the death,
over opinions of you.
Believing THEIR God is real,
and the other's untrue.

 

So much hate and fear,
has infected our heart,
and we want to find hope,
but we don't know where to start.

 

I am pleading and begging,
so please answer me.
Please shine your light on us,
before it's to dark to see.

 

We know you won't fix this,
and we don't expect you to,
but we do need your guidance,
on what we should do.

 

There are so many problems,
and we don't know where to start,
but I do have a feeling,
it's the hate in our heart.

 

So I'll hope, and I'll pray,
that this reaches you,
because I'm afraid if it doesn't,
then us humans are through.
