Wondered if He Heard

From our once little home I will come askew

And you will fade into the sunset like the phantom you never knew,

Oh the world and what it has become

Rife for the taking by the pirates and their rum,

Listen to the brainwashed as in unison they hum

Amazing in this age how people could possibly be this dumb,

Spiraling like an iridescent spirit in the air

Please Lord take me from this despair,

There was a time when I thought someone would care

But friends, family, and acquaintances just weren’t there,

I spoke to God out loud and wondered if he heard

Seems like evil was having its way in whatever way it preferred,

Forgive her if her words seem a bit slurred

Even if the lines between good and bad are blurred,

Take me down take me down this long winding road

To reflect upon how I got here in this ill-gotten abode,

Love is the golden ring for which I always strived for

Why has it left me so bruised and sore?

Power within the number known as seven

His will be done on earth as in Heaven?

Passages mysterious and vague

Not unlike this orchestrated modern day plague.
