I went to talk to god

I went to talk to god that night
with a heart filled full of fire
to ask him of the pain on earth
from a million miles higher
why is man working down there
with his hands into the dirt
working the sweat right off their brow
tearing the ground up with their plow
with nothing left to show for it
still living in a land of shit
why should bombs break families
and fight our foes with tragedies
but mostly do I want to know
where are you now? where did you go?
when prayers were asked you weren’t there
when in the dark and in despair
all we could was turn to you
but what is it we did to you
