SYMBOLS AND DILEMMAS 2
What are you doing in this dark evening
While you are praying
While you are serving him
While you are lying to us
While you are accusing us
And while you are judging us
What are you doing in this wretched evening
While you are praying
While you are uttering
Kill
Hate
Destroy
Set on fire
Cut somebody’s throat
Rape
Rob
What are you doing on this poor evening
While you are praying
And utter all these destructive words
And glorify his name
Not fearing his judgment
I listen and see
And I don’t know what that means
Where everything leads
I know the innocent will suffer
They will pay for who knows how many times
Because you need new billions
You need to build your new world
You build, and the people pay, pay, pay
And building and paying never end
Because you need more, more, and more
I know all your wishes and all your vices
I know all your plans and dreams and prophets
I know all about your greed and curse
I know all about your ignorance
And I am asking myself each day
Oh God, what are they doing
With my heart in your name
The sphinx of life never answered
The words sank into the walls of silence
I pray in my knowledge and ignorance
Oh God, stop them
Show them the path of love
And tell them that there are no “their” people
There are only people
All people are equal before you
Please God tell them the truth
And show them your ways
Rescue them and free them of greed and madness
I prayed and I am still praying
Does anybody hear my prayer?
Stone silence is echoing in my ears
Emptiness is settling in my look and soul
The worry for human beings is coming back as an unhappy thought
While the sphinx of life in me is asking again
People, what you doing to people in this dark evening
While you are praying to him
Uttering all these destructive words
What you are doing in my heart
On this planet soaked with blood for centuries
What you are doing in my heart and in his name
