Mark Russell Poet I do not know?

Where Is God

Where is God?

Look around the war is coming
Look for shelter but wind up running
Bombs fall from up above
Lose myself in thoughts of love
Where is god, in the sky above?

Women cry yet another son died
I sit here and wonder why
Refugees the world brought to its knees
I hear the cries but can’t fill the needs
Where is god, I ask him please.

People lost they have no homes
Desert people bewildered roam
I look around have we really grown?

Destiny it calls to me 
Believe in things you cannot see
Love and hate seem such a fine line to me
Buildings rise they touch the sky
So much greed, I wonder why
Where is god, thought I heard him cry?

People suffer every day 
I wonder why it is that way
Salvation seems such a mystery
Look around, are we really free
Lost in the search of their souls
Grab the shovel to dig their holes
Where is god, nobody knows.

Dream of peace it can't be that far away
The moment passes and then slips away
Where is god, not here today.

People carrying a life of crosses
They are but the acceptable losses
They had their chance but then it died
Where is god, I ask him why?

Politicians tell their lies
Yet another one has died
Where is god, can't he hear their cries?

Liberty people brought to their knees
I still believe and ask god please
Try to believe but freedom is gone
I guess we took a bit too long.
