If you listen closely

You might catch on the breeze

The murmurs of prayers

Whispering

desperate

Souls of the lost, the hungry

The downtrodden and war torn

Pleading with God

Begging of him the simplest of pleasures

For happiness and nourishment

Faithful

But alas God has fled

Sitting upon a throne in the cloudscape

Give me a God I can relate to

Justify their hopes and dreams instead of crushing them with your coldness

Such cowardice

Escape from humanity is impossible

Face your creation

We are your's

How dare you turn around to avoid our begging

Ignore what you have caused

Isolate your children from salvation

Betrayal

Judas

Chaste kisses

Freak miracles as the only reminder to what you are meant to help us with

All but seal our fate

Lost trust to a coward

Don't look in my eyes to claim ignorance

Run, and remember

Pay in guilt for the suffering you have caused

Retreat
