Where Is God? Poem by Wayne Leon Learmond

Where is God among us?
That is the question
that needs to be asked.

Where is God during the famines
And the murders
of the present and past.

Why does he stay so silent?
Are we all alone?

Are we praying in vain
to nothing?
Why does He not answer
our phone?

With everything going on
around us
Now would be the time
to show.

That You are right behind us
When our cries
are so bitter and low.

God, if you are listening
Then You're wind
does need to blow.

To blow away the cobwebs
of evil
That envelope us so...
