Faith Forsaken
It came in the night, the war
Of the same skies we prayed
Though we pled there came more
Appeals unheard, trust betrayed
Hope’s hope to be lost again
Our dignity’s pride lay bare
In the fields we tilled for grain
Our children all buried there
Our love, our peace was all taken
For what we ask, why oh God why?
How can faith be so forsaken?
By arrogance so gone awry!
