Cries for Change, A Global Prayer

Cries for Change, A Global Prayer

First comes the flooding,

where waters run wild,

in the UK, storms rage,

nature’s fierce child.

Then snow covers the ground,

hardened to ice,

a treacherous sheet,

where each step holds a price.

Viruses linger,

as germs sweep through the air,

hospitals struggle,

with burdens they bear.

The economy falters,

the poor slipping more,

while the rich count their winnings,

and close their front door.

We live in times where

no one seems to care,

God, can you hear us?

Our hearts join in prayer.

Children are suffering,

all around,

global changes are killing

our Mother Earth’s ground.

Across distant lands,

fires roar and ignite,

in America’s heart,

they consume through the night.

While other nations battle,

as wars bring despair,

in this fragile world,

can we find a way to repair?

God, step in and help,

it feels we’re all lost, no one cares.
