Anquish

Our hearts are so heavy
Our souls are alight
Why so we allow it
Dear God, all we do is fight

Anger is no answer
But so much is there
Why do we support it?
Dear God, please hear our prayer

How do we live with pain?
It destroys our hearts
When will it cease?
Dear God, it must start

Peace is an answer
Yet does in prevail
Why do we voice it
Dear God, why does it fail

Love is promoted
It is quoted nonstop
Do we believe it
Dear God, why does it flop.
