They say

They say that there is a God.

They say that He is a he.

They say that He is white.

They say that He is straight.

They say that He has plan for us

But I fear it is not great.

They say He gives no one,

A burden they cannot shoulder.

They say that everything He does,

Has a purpose, has a cause.

But if that were true,

Then God would be a she.

Then God would be of color.

Then God would be gay.

God would represent the minority.

Not the choice majority.

Then God would not have a plan for us.

But let us walk free.

Then there would not be sickness,

There would not be starvation,

There would not be war or discrimination.

Then God would not say that hunger.

Is a burden a child can bear.

Then people would live in peace.

Then people would love each other.

Then criminals would be behind bars,

and innocents would walk the streets.

They say there is a God.

They say it must be so.

They want it so bad,

They think it doesn't show.

If there is I hope God's deaf.

For He has answered too few prayers.

They say we're too small to speak to God,

They say we must have faith.

But if there is a God.

A God who truly cares.

He'd know that we matter,

He'd know that we were there.
