Something Terrible. (Inspiration: Night by Elie Wiesel)

Something terrible has taken god,

I can’t seem to find him anymore.

I lost my joy.

I’ve lost all hope.

And all my love is gone.

Where is his mercy,

Where are his arms,

Why should I sing to a god,

Who can’t keep his chosen people out of harm.

My eyes are cold.

My heart is stone.

This is how I’ve condemned myself to be.

My feet are numb.

My mother’s gone.

And smoke is all I see.

I used to sit up on a hill

And talk to god about the sky.

I’d tell him how my day went,

And thank him for my life.

But now I curse his very name

The sky is scowling with gray clouds of smoke.

How can a god to loves his child,

Do this to whom’s very existence he spoke.

His turned us into vessels,

We are just an empty carcass with a heart,

We have a brain, we our stomaches

But our souls chose to depart.

I looked up at my father,

Whom i’ve looked up to all my life,

I searched for a smile in his sorrow

But all I saw was tears in his eyes.

Surely there must be a god,

Though I see he’s not with me.

How can a got who loves his children,

Be content with what he sees?

And surely he must be content,

For if he disagreed

I know that he could send someone

Who could certainty set us free.

I guess this means he does not love

As much as I once thought.

Or maybe I was simply blind,

To if there is a god or not.
