GOD WILL NOT HELP US. A poem by Mason khalif
Good evening my lovely people. I have something different for you today. *drum rolls* Lol. It’s a beautiful poem. Written by one of the most talented people I know. A special friend. I read it and it made so much sense. So I’m going to leave it here (with his approval of course) for all you wonderful individuals to enjoy! Feel free to comment.
****************
GOD WILL NOT HELP US
Everyone is a liar
money is all that is worshipped
the religious leaders
use God’s name to fill their purses
Our civilian leaders
have not led us anywhere
then they say
Let us pray to God.
We kill each other
Steal and cheat
always trying to make
a dishonest living.
“Don’t help him”
“He’s not your brother”
“He’s not a Christian”
“like you are”
“don’t give a lift to her”
“just drive past in your car”
then we come to the altar
and pray to God.
He blessed us
with every resource
the soil is rich
the land fertile
we used the proceeds
from these resources
to purchase weapons
and destroy the masses
thus chaos looms
destruction in the land
then we clasp our hands
and pray to God.
No one looks after the other
no one shows no one love
yet we claim to honour
The One above
Peace is on our lips
war is on our hearts
the dead will rest in peace
they have done their part
“no one is safe” MI said
when the innocent were murdered
for nothing at all
then we turn around and say
God will help us.
alas,
God will help us.
But God will NOT help us.
the errors are ours to fix
the land is ours to heal.
God has done his part
in abundance we were blessed
we should play our part
and save our God the stress.
God will help us,
When we have helped ourselves.
