God Sleeps

God must be sleeping now as the dog dreams He mumbles help me as he is thrown into the ring As he is bitten his tears of hope cry I was happy to run and my mothers paws God must be sleeping now as the addict waits for her trick She opens the car door and wonders where did I turn Her Father drank and beat her Mother I was happy kicking cans and hiding and seeking God must be sleeping now as the mother stands the line Waiting her chance to speak and get the dole Her children screaming and no food or goodies I was happy playing with dolls and doctor was my downfall Allah must be sleeping as the Taliban beat the solo women She cries for pity as the men strike her with the club She wears the burqa and prays for America I was happy playing in the fields with my brother God must be sleeping as the old woman has her pocketbook snatched Her social security money gone as the food she will eat Sitting on the ground thinking and praying and no answer She was happier even when her husband lay dying and alone God must be sleeping as the Earth quakes and tsunami The wave crashes over the homes of the unsuspecting The wife being torn from her husbands arms never seen again To death came to part and the happiness too God slept on the seventh day as he was tired The people constantly praying for his wonders His world in ruins as mankind molest his children He was happier when he walked the gardens of Eden
