Where are you, God?

Where are you when we need you, God?

Where are you when people are beaten by thugs for no good reason?

Where are you when people call others cockroaches and treat them as dirt?

Where are you when the people who claim to be installed in power by you treat the people they govern as enemies?

Where are you when the leaders tell the flock to submit to the powerful instead of you?

Where are you when powerful people brutalise and arrest people at will, with no retribution?

Where are you when the powerful call the deer a horse with glee, and make that the “truth”?

Where are you when people tell lies to justify their evil deeds, God?

Where are you when people preach prejudice, discrimination and hatred?

When are you when young people are so desperate they resort to violence in the name of good, God?

Don’t you care about people suffering, God?

Don’t you care about justice on earth, God?

Don’t you care about the truth, God?

Don’t you care about the weak, the sick, the down trodden, the poor, God?

Don’t you care when people lost all hope, God?

Yes, we know your wisdom is beyond us. 

Yes, we know your timing is not our timing.

Yes, we know we do wrong instead when we actually want to do good. 

Yes, we know we do not deserve to be treated as righteous, because we are sinners ourselves. 

Yes, we know we have no right to demand anything from you.

Yet, can you at least let the world know you are still in charge, for your own sake?

Can you at least show the world justice is what you demand?

Can you at least remind those who brutalise others that there will be retribution?

Can you at least remind those who abuse their power that you remember?

Can you at least remind those who lie how much you hate it?

Can you at least remind people peace cannot be achieved by violence and hatred?

Can you at least give a little bit of hope to those without it?

Can you at least remember to bless those who suffer for righteousness?

Please, God?
