godgodgod
i am not religious
but i pray sometimes
to whatever is there
whenever i am on the edge
are you there, god?
can you hear me call your name,
o creator of old?
god, please
please listen to me, god
the windchimes whisper and
god doesn’t respond
i was told that god would look out
for the sick
for the poor
for the wicked
but please god, i may not be good
creator, i need hope
i sit alone with hopes of heaven
riding on the winds
god, if you will not listen
there are people and they are dying
i am one of them
one of far too many, god
listen to me, god
and i will devote myself to kindness
not to you
i wonder if you would mind
god, they have corrupted you
the bells that toll in your honor
are cracked and broken
please, god
if only to save yourself
save us, too
god i am listening for you
are you there, god?
