I wonder

I Wonder

With all the anger, violence, and hate that 

is every where we look in the world, I need

to wonder where God could be. With 

children getting hurt and babies 

being killed, we need to worry if God can 

even see, now we have  homeless 

families living on the streets no food to

eat and nothing to drink it makes me 

sit back and think if God still 

cares about 

you and me with wars starting 

and world wide famine around 

the world now the norm, we all should 

wonder if God is even home, 

and there lies 

the problem as far as I can see, I have 

always heard that God helps those

that help themselves at least from 

everything I have ever read so why

do we always look up to God to clean up 

everything we all have created 

ourselves? It certainly was

not He.

I mean we made the mess, so then that 

means we should clean it up, not God. 

Would you not all agree?

You see I truly do believe that we can feed

the famines, and home the homeless, 

even save our children along with so 

much more. By Just bringing

all of our 

troops home then walk away from all of

the made up wars. We lose so many heroes 

and hopeful young souls all because

the grownups never grew up, and cannot 

shake hands anymore, all for a barrel 

of oil, or a gallon of gas, that I just paid 

two dollars and fifty-four cents on. 

See that is what is left of the previous rulers 

of this world from our past I mean oil, 

because as it stands now in about fifty 

million years, they will be

pumping us 

out the ground just as fast. I

wonder if 

maybe democracy is why we fight? 

So let us bring them all back home, 

because that is where we here 

ourselves in America are now losing sight.

We can use our troops to do so much 

more good, just by cleaning up suburbia 

and even the hoods. I mean really black, 

white, yellow, or brown, there is no color 

when it comes to addiction in any town.

If we really want to fight all the

corruption, addiction, and drugs, 

then we all need to stand together

and stop the government,

besides , 

they are the ones making all 

the money, 

and the feds well they are all real thugs.

You see by arresting all of us and then

throwing us all in jail, or modern 

day slavery they are making billions 

because they set us all up 

to fail on

the drugs they have created I mean look 

at all that money they make, on your 

damn bail.

Believe me when I say that God is still

around for He is way up there and he is 

looking down, but I am quite sure not 

with a smile, but more a big frown.

But I think when we start to help ourselves 

and clean up all our own messes, he 

will start helping us out again 

just so you 

are not all so stressed. For

you see

God is talking to us each and every single 

day, just open up your heart 

and listen for 

him I guarantee you will hear 

what he has to say.

Amen
