Dear Gods Poem by Jim Yerman

Dear Gods,

This plea goes out to all of you
at the top of belief systems across all our lands.
We thank you for having the faith
to put the fate of the world in our hands.

But after all this time you must be aware
I'm sure wherever you dwell it is known
that we humans haven't done such a good job
down here
on this Earth
on our own.

We could use a little help…
surely from wherever you are you have seen
the ways we mistreat our planet and one another…
and we ask you now…
please intervene.

Dear Gods it is time you get together
before it is to late
and drive out the evils we've created in our world
and extinguish all our hate.

Help us revitalize our planet
help us live in peace not constantly at odds
help us be the people you created us to be…
Help us!
Please help us…
Dear Gods.
