DiaryOfAWorm: Cry of the Lowly


Crying child

People are dying,
Wars are raging,
Children go hungry,
Rich get richer,
Poor get poorer,
Financial markets tumble,
Presidential candidates do not talk about the poor,
Suffering of mind, body and soul increases,
Common Good is swallowed by individual greed.

Where do we look?
Where do we go
To find hope and a way out of this mess?
Some do not want to know about the way out,
Some ignore it or do not care,
Many feel hopeless.

God where are you when we really need you?
You tell us to resist evil and do good,
But does it matter?

We have sinned, have mercy on us.
Let us come back to the Garden
Where waste becomes new soil,
The least, like worms, rule,
Where we can grow our food,
Work together in peace,
And be what You created us to be.
