"I Say as I Pray"

Poem Commentary

Wow! This was something serious for me. This was the moment when I cried out to God. Not for the "Why God" plea but for the "Let's Hurry Life Up Because We'd All Be Better Off" plea. This was the fear that came unexpectedly and without mercy. I was serving a 7 year prison sentence and one of my bestfriends brothers (who was my brother by another mother) whom I had known for 8 years was murdered, my Dad died unexpectedly due to an extended illness as well as drug/alcohol abuse, my ex-boyfriend of 4 years brother (also a brother from another mother) was murdered brutally.

"I Say as I Pray"

1 Addict

2 Drug Dealers

How could this be?

I feel like these struggles are abusing me.

I want to be Free!

I rarely cry about my time due to others who are worse off than me, but right now I need my family so prison is overwhelming to me.

Will I ever find peace now that my DaD and 2 Brothers are deceased?

My God... If you are there… please forgive me for my sins… open your eyes, bend down your ear, and listen to me Friend.

I need you now , my heart is broke, and my family is losing men….

But this is not my only opposition, the world is filled with much corruption.

I do not claim to be above anyone, only that I'm no longer a faithful heathen.

Life is hard but my heart remains soft. It's been a rough road but I refuse to stop.

I stumble down the path made by your Son , but you love me no less… You knew I wouldn't be a Nun.

I ask you not for pleasure or love from any boy or girl.

I ask you not to give me the riches of the world.

Dear God: I pray for the Drug Lords ,Whores, Gangsta's, and  Police…The abused and the abusers, neglected children, and homeless people in the streets.

I pray that you will hurry and bring Heaven here on Earth, for the lost and the suffering or  whatever is our worth.

The Fighting and Stealing… Dealing and Killing… it's all getting much worse.

To end the pain and dry our tears I ask you again through these trying years.......

"Please Bring Heaven to Earth."
