Dear God

God I’ve been meaning to write to you
For quite some time 
But finding the right words to say 
Ran the ink in my pen dry

I don’t want for us to argue 
This is not a debate 
Had my name drag through the dirt 
So
I figured you could relate 

Lately I’ve been having trouble,
trying to be nice 
To people who want to see me fall
They don’t want me to rise 

Now I’m not surprised 
I just don’t know how to react
Your teachings say turn the other cheek 
But my instinct is saying I should fight back 

I got the devil on one shoulder 
An angel on the next
My future on my mind 
But the pain from my past still linkers in my chest

Protesters on the streets
Protesting against same sex marriage 
Yet keep their mouths shut 
Against abortion and miscarriage 

Hands to the sky
Shouting to God in tears
Yet they haven’t seen the inside of a church in years

Now I’m not saying that it’s right 
Who am I to judge 
Who am I to point fingers 
When my hands aren’t clean enough 

So many hungry faces 
So many children dying 
So many people with the power to make a difference 
And so little of them trying

Children raised with no fathers
Mothers having fatherless kids
Children fighting for their lives 
Before they had a chance to live

We need you now more than ever 
We’re running out of faith 
We need you to intervene 
Before it’s too late

D.Christian
