A Grain of Sand

God
I don't know how to Pray
Dear Someone - Something
Allah, Christ, Buddha, Mohammed
Oh I have lost my Way
Why would you listen to me?
A small grain of sand
When my Country destroys yet another's precious Land
God why would you listen to minimal me?

When you didn't hear
the Indian
the Jew
the Palestinian
the African not wanting to be dragged to America to be a slave
the child after being rapped, thrown into a shallow grave

I don't Believe in You
I don't believe you when you say you hear me when I get on my knees to
pray
For I know too many innocents Die
So the Power Mongers can richly Live

How much faith can a grain of sand give?
I've lost my way
I've lost my faith
I don't believe in You
I only live for today
