A Miracle No Longer Seen

This is about the society has gone from even realizing what a miracle is and having gone completely blind to one as we destroy the very planet God loaned us.

Man has lost his humanity,

There upon changing his destiny,

What was God like,

 Now becomes a dark entity.

 

 

With a gift loaned to us from above,

Man has taken unjust,

The splendors of a world once filled with love,

Are being stripped by greed and lust.

 

Has man forgotten that this is Gods planet?

An Eden to have been shared and tasted,

Leaving it as it was meant,

Not a world of torment.

 

Sometimes at night I can hear God sigh,

“I want my world back” and wish I could reply,

“I do too”, but can only cry,

As I imagine a tear fall from his eye.

 

Being called ‘Children of God’ has done our egos proud,

Making us think we can do better with his hallowed ground,

As we hold homage to its destruction like baying hounds,

Never taking the time to see or hear how foolish we sound.

 

God’s green earth is a miracle we no longer see,

As fuel and money become our main need,

Forgetting another Child of God out of greed,

Simply because we’ll be damned to give something for free.

 

We no longer see the miracle we used to be,

Made to be what only our faith has seen,

Stirring the hearts of us who can still see,

A robed figure walking on a sea of his own tears,

Still loving children who have forgotten to believe.
