If You Could Talk To God: Oh, Dear God,

If I could talk to God,
I would ask him if he would take away.
All this pain and suffering,
That infects this world every day.

As my heart it aches with this sickness,
of all the sickness in this world which I face.
I'd ask dear God, My one true God,
Could you please rid the evil, that has taken place.

On my knees I beg dear God,
this madness that surrounds me is wrong.
I fight to make it,
In a world where I don't seem to belong.

Oh dear God, help this world,
What is going on?
Why can't the human race open their eyes,
and try to get along.

My God, I know you placed me here,
To better the world and make them see.
But I feared that I was incapable,
To do the work you asked of me.

Dear God, I know you're always right,
It's to late to change a world that's in Satan's hands.
For all those who had pledge allegiance.
To a flag in a country that never understands.

Dear God, please help me,
Bear the weight of this cross.
For I dear God will give my life, 
to save the wounded and lost.

Dear God I will await thee,
For when that time arise.
I will carry out your will,
until the enemies demise.

Tina, this and the other poem I read today, tells me clearly that you are very depressed. Please do go and seek some medical help as you don't have to suffer in this way and it is quite a common thing that most people have met along life's way. I have, and so have most people. They're lucky if they haven't.

Hello, thanks for reading... I'm not depressed, just disgusted by all this Madness and insanity in the World... How do you think God feels about all of this??. To create such beauty, and to see it all go to waste... How disappointing, what a disappointment the human race....
