How Long Can I Stand Idly By! ? Poem by Denis Martindale

How long can I stand idly by,
While brothers lose their lives?
Or gaze upon the darkened sky,
Like husbands and their wives?
Or see and hear and smell the death
That falls upon this Earth,
When demons cast their foul breath
On rulers of high worth?

How long can I stand idly by,
With bank accounts untapped?
While sisters grieve and mourn and sigh,
Within their cities trapped?
While bombs are cast like seeds around,
To wipe out human souls,
Yet I've no tears left to be found,
No future plans or goals?

How long can I stand idly by,
Yet blaming God each day?
What must it take for me to cry,
To humbly kneel and pray?
Jerusalem, forgive me, please,
Like other cities, too...
Yet know this now, I'm on my knees,
Today, I'll pray for you...
