Dear God Poem by sharon wildey

Dear God
I know that I have prayed
In the past
When I believed
In You
I know that I have prayed
For relief from my misery
The question then
Why did I receive more misery
When I prayed
To You
Was it when I began to think
You couldn’t be a white Man
Or a Man at all
When I prayed
In the past
Maybe you really were
A white Man
Who really was involved in my Life
Every day
So when I prayed to you
For relief
You forgot
So busy were You
With other white men
So this is my prayer now
Please don’t help me
Anymore
Please go help someone else
I have all the help from You
I can handle in this Life
Please let me have my own misery
Maybe I will find my own relief
Just stay out of it
If you please
And be a nice white man
And Leave.
