What if god isn't listening

By SleepingDead

What if god
Just up and quit.
Turned his back
To the evil
He created.
A plagued race
Filled with disease
Vile, greed, pride
And still we ask
Father.. Why have you forsaken me
What if god isn't listening
Hell is rising up
Our cries each silence
The beast is on our shore
A darkness.. That can be
Felt
Has he any faith for his flock?


... God, can you hear me?

  • A former member wrote: Wow this is very deep indeed. Makes me wonder if God has turned his back on us and that will explain all of the chaos of our bloody society! Great job here
