Crying to God


God: “Hello!”

God give me strength for I am weak
I am living in a country with a government of greed and deceit.

Someone stole my bible and I have one no more
Its like law does nothing to protect all the poor.

Mom and dad fight for colors and now are divorced.
Dad’s facing charges and things can get worst.

I have nothing to eat and my tummy hurts.
“How will my mom fight for my life with an empty purse?”

I hear a campaign of blue and another of red’
Uniting people, that’s what they said.

I wrote you a letter and prayed it would reach
Mom can’t afford to send me to school and my dream is to teach.

I know I am young and I don’t know much but it is obvious the government doesn’t care enough.

Here where I’m from, I see many like me…

I sit at my table with nothing to eat,
the same white dirty dress and no shoe on my feet.

Where will my future go, when nothing is left???

It’s like all has gone private, I hear what the say…

How will I survive at least one more day?


Lord, please, please…

Take me away...
