We Need A Miracle

I hope you’re awake.

The world is breaking.

We don’t want comfort

we want peace.

 

They say you made us.

Then why does hunger

wear your name?

Why do your children

sleep in the cold?

 

We ask for quiet.

You answer with silence.

We sing to the sky,

but no echo returns.

 

Did you craft this grief?

The pain we hold?

Or did we give you shape

to carry the blame?

 

We argue, we fight,

we fall for belief

but no hand lifts us

when we fall.

 

Your name lives in laws,

in fire,

in war.

If you wrote the book,

why let it burn?

 

No crown.

No wings.

No final word.

Just hearts breaking

in the dark.

 

Still, the bombs fall.

The children weep.

The oceans rise.

And hope thins.

 

Are you still watching,

or did you turn away

before the smoke rose?

 

I used to pray.

Now I reflect.

If you are real,

then why the silence?

 

PS:

We need a miracle.
