Look around you, and tell me How can you still believe in God When war rages, destroying our country, And poverty is our grim reality.

Where is your Almighty Lord? Does He not hear the cries of the children? Mothers’ desperate prayers, Soldiers’ silent suffering… Has He turned a blind eye to the miseries of this world? What did He do to deserve your faith? Your complete, unwavering devotion…

When the arms will cease their fires, And bodies will stop littering the grounds, When the kids will have to eat, And the mothers’ tears will dry, Then, you can come and tell me about your God. As for now, let me be, For my rage and pain are too great, And I’ve become deaf to your words.

Thank you for reading!
