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.
