An Unanswered Prayer Poem by Paul Amrod

The dreadful consequence of not knowing where to turn
prompts the rolling of eyes and an anguish which devastates
the easeful atmosphere of security like each child did learn.
The modern stressful modification unhealthfully permeates
a syndrome of directionlessness which slowly overwhelms
the consciousness of each persona grappling with concern.
Only fleeing to the mountains can cease this scorching pain
which overrides all contentment as we speak to the eagles
and marmots who abide with Nature as peace we lastly earn.
We beseech to a higher spirit nonetheless our wishes are ignored.
Perhaps we express no meaning of need like the people
who are truly dispirited pounding their chests as they deeply implore.
Still their tragedy is incessant without any sign at the end of the tunnel.
We perceive the contraband of criminals laughingly illegal
as they slip away from justice as this questionable situation does return.
We are victims of the slaughter of civil liberties as the humble
remain with hermits hiding from this supposed civilization forevermore.
The charlatans who pose as puppets repeat a pretentious regal
attitude rebuffing the trustworthy while calculating their evil wars.
Heaven help us to summon the messiah who will surely tumble
their blatant futility reconciling the enlightened as they discern
the shortcomings of a capitalism which leaves our Earth blistered and forlorn.
The absurd fabrications have lost their believability as they stumble
over falsehoods which have the stench of a skunk as we desperately yearn
for this madness to vanquish liberating our sanity from this horrendous rumble.
Denying the common laws of Isaac they twist and shiver as they funnel
their lost resources looking over their shoulder through channels of hypocrisy.
Impostors of false expectations are developing fraud for our confusion
with their poker faces pretending to be unaware of their protected secrecy
while deranging all literate sensibility to encompass their wildest illusions.
The burden of their disgraces chases our Counselor and greatest protector
to avoid the weakness of a slovenly culture as our lives have been forsworn.
The disrespect of our Paradise has provoked the sacred to abandon their scepter
leaving the human race to meander with the fiendish devoid of reciprocity.
From the medieval torture cells to Guantanamo the savagery has torn
away the virtues and decency to camouflage our naivety delivering us only poignancy.
Through consternation we have been taught to overreact like a vigilante inspector
ruthlessly trained like a calloused canine forgetting the innocence of a newly-born.
Looking out the window blowing the whistle on an unblemished hobo as pity
is forgotten amidst the heated moment of a premeditated brainwashed objector.
Discourteous selfish behavior must be banished to rediscover normalcy.
Restoring trust between all beings is an unanswered prayer for magnanimity
which gifts us with an oversight of self-perseverance which will adorn
our crown with a luxurious vibrancy as our charismatic aura gleams with brilliancy.
