Seven Days of Reflections: Why Isn’t Anyone Listening?

Seven Days of Reflections: Why Isn’t Anyone Listening?

I see all the troubles in the world,
Poverty, injustice, bigotry, hunger,
Sickness, oppression, pain, inequality,
Slavery, abuse, genocide, violence,

Tears flow from my eyes,
As I pray to the Lord,
Why aren’t you doing something about it?
Why aren’t you making this world better?

So God says to me,
“Kris, I am making this world better,”
“I created you,”
“You are going to change the world,”

So I ask God,
“But how, God?”
‘How can I make this world better?”
“I’m just one person.”

Then He says to me,
“Use the gifts that I gave you,”
“Your writing and blogging abilities,”
“So you can let the world know what’s going on,”

So I write about the injustices of the world,
But it seems no one is listening,
Then God tells me,
“Don’t give up. Keep writing,”

I keep writing on social media,
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Deviantart,
I know that one day people will listen,
I just have to keep going and not give up
