Cries

Here we are again,  We haven't moved from the chapter we opened, We repeating the same chapter, It seems as if we don't understand what we read, I can't blame anyone,  Yet none can stand and correct our mistakes, None can stand and say the truth as it is, It's sad that some nations are fighting against each other, Whose the common enemy? The people or the rebel leader?  Whose blood is crying on the ground?  Another life lost, Others are fleeing from their homeland,  For the home they know is now a battle ground, Who then can stop this fight?  Who can give hope to the people? Who will feed the thousands suffering for no reason?  Who will stand with the families who have lost their loved ones?  Who will care for the mothers and daughters and sons?  Who will explain to them that they ain't the target?  Who will drop their guns first for the sake of humanity?  Who will see that people are more important than power?  Will power give back life to those who are dead?  Will control comfort those who have a troubled life?  Will acceptance through force win the respect you want?  Will God understand the cause your fighting for?  Will God stand by your side as you kill the innocent?  Will God talk to you or would you ignore His voice? Would God give you a tormenting spirit like that of Saul?  Would God really ignore the cries of the innocent?
