Supplication

Creator of this hapless globe, Will you listen to my plea.... I have a lot of grievances That need your sympathy How do I start my feeble prayer, What should be first on my list, Does it matter..... it all matters, Your attention is sorely missed We're smart, but Lord, not smart enough, We can't fix the mess we're in, Blame it on anything you want.... Free will, stupidity, or sin They say your patience is eternal, But, frankly, this isn't a test, We don't have eternity, As for time, well, we're hard-pressed Now rumor has it that it takes Seven sins to upset Thee: Anger Envy, Greed and Lust.... Sloth, Pride and Gluttony In case you haven't noticed, Things are getting out of hand, Those seven sins, plus many more Run rampant o'er the land A warning from your mighty hand Could change the course of things, Put your fear back into us.... Let's see what good it brings Ignoring us is not the way To have us do your will, Make an appearance now and then.... Give a sermon from the hill Let us see your might and power, Strike down evil with your hand, Let these trying days be done, Bring peace to our troubled land We've lost the way to hallowed ground, The signs are all defaced, We're overwhelmed, the light went out..... We need your saving grace!
