Tears Are Prayers Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Tears of sorrow are prayers
Tears of pain are prayers
Tears of discontent are prayers
Tears don't fall to the ground
God sends His angels to collect every drop
When the cup overflows with tears God stands up
When the cup overflows He avenges
Because tears are prayers.

Let not the innocent cry because of you
Let not widows cry because of you
Let not orphans cry because of you
Let not citizens cry because of leaders oppression
Let not citizens cry because of leaders suppression
Let not children cry because of abuse
Let not wives cry because of abuse
Let not husbands cry because of abuse
Let not parents cry because if disobedience
Let not parents cry because of disrespect.

Let not God's anointed servants cry because of sinners
Let not holy angels cry because of sinners
Let not the Holy Spirit cry because of sinners
Let not Jesus Christ cry because of sinners like
He cried for Jerusalem
God answers prayers
Tears are prayers.
