Homeless

Give us food, And give us hunger too so we can eat, We lost our appetite we know not when. We are alive But we live not, Give us a life to live, We died we know not when. Give us nights to sleep And dreams to dream, Give us a place of our own, We lost our homes we know not when. Give us a tomorrow free of grief and sorrow, Give us back our joys, We forgot to laugh we know not when. Give us a hymn, Give us a prayer, Give us a place to worship, We lost our God We know not when! ~04/02/16 ~Image #1 prompt contest by Silent One

Very poignant, and I like the repetition of 'We know not when'.
