Can you hear all the cries?
Can you see the pain?
Does any of it reach you?
Through the lies and fingers pointing blame?

I opened my eyes
And saw a world full of fear
How can you watch from on high
As I lose all that I hold dear?

I'm down here on my knees
Begging you to hear my prayers
Just need to know that you're still there
Listen as I call your name so please tell me
Do you see my tears?
All I've ever wanted was your love
And to rest under the shelter of you wings

Blood stained pages full of words old as you
Cities falling and children crying
Tell me is this what you wanted us to do?
Are you watching as all mankind is dying?

Will you open your eyes?
Will you see all the pain?
Will you just stand by?
Are all the prayers in vain?

Please, I'm begging you
Take a moment and look
See those of us who still need you

Can you hear me?
I'm calling out to you
Can you see me?
I'm still right here
And I still want to rest
Beneath the shelter of your wings
Okay, this is techincally not a school assignment.

I wrote this after the first time I watched the movie Legion and only recently found it again and felt like sharing it with the rest of my stuff.

I'm not exactly familiar with the movie 'Legion'...okay, I plain out haven't seen it, end of story.

This sounds like the prayer of a desperate person, crying out to god in the hope of all the pain and agony finally ending.

But you see...god imbued us with free will. That he isn't intervening, doesn't mean he doesn't care. (At least I believe so)...but that he still believes in us. That he thinks, that we'll somehow manage to pull through...on our own.

And if everything...and I mean everything...goes down the drain...I guess it will be him who mops up the remains.
Maybe he could save us...but at what price?
What would it take for this world...our world...to be saved?
