Does God Listen..
Does he hear my prayers...
Does he see the nightmares..
Some say yes, some say no
But in the end, will we ever know?
Does God See..
What he’s created
The death and destruction
It’s like a percussion
To the beat of the world
Some say yes, some say no
But in the end, will we ever know?
Where was God
When my parents died
When I’m crucified
Some say he was there
But why do they care?
Is there a Spirit..
Inside of me
Without being full of tyranny
Some say yes, some say no
But in the end, will I ever know?
Does God Listen..
Does he hear my prayers
Does he see my nightmares
Some say yes, and some say no
But like I said, will I ever know?

I can honestly relate to your feelings here. My father was murdered by a man, 4 years ago. About 13 years ago my mother walked out on me. I used to pray everyday that my father would be killed, only for the fact of all the things he used to do to me when I was little. Then one day I came home and It was February 12th, and found out he was dead. My aunt and uncle, [my parents] were going to get married on Valentine's day in Reno, Nevada, and that was 2 days after he was killed. They left me with my grandparents, and nothing to do, or say. It is amazing how things change in the blink of an eye. How easily my feelings changed when I realized that he was really dead.
I just found my mom last night. A few of my family members spotted her. She is miles and miles away from me. ANd all this time I've prayed to see her, and instead God answered the worse of the two. He let my father leave this world, but didn't return my mother.
Now, some would say that this was done intentionally, others would say no.
I guess I'll never really know, will I?
Thank you for sharing this poem with me.
It was amazing. God bless. HAve a great day. Good luck.

I sense the tone of personal questioning, rant and rage. I can feel how personal this piece is and how it went through internall when you wrote this gem.
Thanks for sharing your gift.

I can't believe that you told me that you couldn't write. This poem has a Poe feel to it, and it shows the struggle a lot of people have with belief. i like the way the last line repeats, it drills the message into your head. Good job.
