“LETTER TO GOD”

DEAR GOD ARE YOU LISTENING?
SO MANY TIMES I’VE CALLED YOUR NAME IN VAIN, 

FROM CUSSIN’ TO SEXIN’ TO MYSTERIOUS THINGS ONLY YOU AND I HAVE SEEN,
NO MATTER HOW DECEITFUL I WAS YOU STILL SHOWED ME THE WAY,

BUT I CANT HELP TO THINK THAT I’M BEING PUNISHED FOR ALL THOSE SINFUL THINGS,
MY GOD I KNOW YOU ARE THE MOST FORGIVING,

THE ANSWER AT THE END, AND THE QUESTION TO THE BEGINNING,
I FEEL SO OUT OF SYNC LORD MY FAMILY HAS LOST THEIR LOVING WAYS,

DEEP DOWN IT’S STILL THERE, BUT IT IS TRAPPED BENEATH ALL THE ANGER, FRUSTRATION, AND PAIN,
I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THINGS WERE FINE ONE DAY THEN THE NEXT WEEK THE LOVE I ONCE FELT WAS GONE,

NOW I FEEL AS THOUGH I TOOK THAT LOVE FOR GRANTED AND HAVE SUDDENLY BEEN ROBBED,
I REMINISCE SO FREQUENTLY ON A CHILD WHO ONCE FELT AND WAS TAUGHT HOW TO LOVE,

THEN ONE DAY THE WAR BEGAN, WHICH SURPRESSED HIS FEELINGS, AND NOW HE KNOWS NOT WHO TO TRUST OR LEAN ON,
DEAR LORD DO OTHERS UNDERSTAND MY PAIN?

ARE THEY HOPING FOR A CHANGE?
ALL I SEE IS BROKEN HOMES, SLAIN BABIES, AND UN-EXPLAINABLE CLAIMS,

SO MANY FLAGRANT SCENES THAT I HAVE WITNESSED,
BATTERED AND BRUISED SOULS BEATEN FOR REASONS THAT ARE SENSELESS,

COULD THIS BE A CONTAGEOUS RAGE WITH NO VACCINE?
A DISEASE OR A DEADLY GERM THAT CAN BE CONTRACTED SO EASILY?

DEAR LORD THIS LETTER IS FOR YOU BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH I NEED TO KNOW,
FOR SO MANY ARE CRYING FOR THOSE DYING AND I MAY BE THE NEXT TO GO,

AND IF I AM THE NEXT TO GO PLEASE LORD LET ME BE THE FIRST,
BECAUSE I WON’T BE ABLE TO ENDURE THE PAIN OF SEEING ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND LAYING INSIDE A COFFIN BEING DRIVEN SLOWLY BY A HEARST.
