Poem Title:
Poem
Here I am, still wondering who I am I am nothing like my dad or my mom There is no rhythm in my life, just a low tuneless hum And the sound of a loud and strange distant drum I am running out of fuel, but life remains a tedious race I am lonesome in this place Mighty God The sky is always falling somewhere in the world A plane crashes or a bomb goes off, in the midst of a crowd Either you are deaf to this, or misery has no sound But it has plenty of versions if you look around Men waging war on men, because of a difference in race I am lonesome in this place Mighty God The rich have no compassion or regard for the poor Diseases everywhere, now half of them with no cure Whatever plans you have for us, I am not really sure But humanity is in danger, as good leaders grow fewer All the suffering in this world, can the bible really erase? I am lonesome in this place Mighty God My heart breaks as many times as it beats Along with others i am drowning in the sea of defeats Relationships fail, families break and love retreats When ancient religion and modern technology meets Good and evil walk side by side, but evil has a faster pace I am lonesome in this place Mighty God This old earth no longer free, it now has a price tag Land so expensive, yet there is no gold to be dug Just for a man to buy a house, before the banks begin to nag And the man who wore a suit one day, now wears a rag Yet you made a universe, with plenty of room out in space I am lonesome in this place Mighty God Then every evening, in the shark i call a bedroom I cover myself in a blanket hiding away from the doom I feel so scared in the dark, I might as well be in a tomb I regret the day i came out of my mother's womb Sunrise ends my torment, but another dreadful day i must face I am lonesome in this place Mighty God. Inspired by the song "Your awesome in this place, mighty God" by Hillsong 2/7/16
