When God Slept

A nonillion dollars wasn't enough -
To rid this world of illnesses and afflictions
All the science, degrees and Phds- altered nothing
It's like reading a whole page of gibberish -
In the hope of reaching a striking sentence to uplift you

Not in this book of the world I suppose not
A billion leaders - billion men of God
And yet the grass wasn't green enough for the sheep
Now they're chewing through the wires and the metals
Spiralled out of control - where are the shepherds?!

Maybe it will be all right one day but...
Before that, it has to be all wrong for now -
I am thinking, either God is asleep
Or perhaps he can't hear our cries and screams
Any longer...
