The Sea of the Dead

It's like I have, An obligation to this nation, Yet I have to be patient; Who's patiently waiting, Looking, maybe gazing, For something or someone, To simply say when? So tell me who's there, And tell me who cares? Tell me, who's answered, Their heavenly prayers?

I too enjoyed this one. It's on the dark side but I think lots of people feel this way, at least from time to time.
