Stop:

Stop we plead,
we beg you.
In our isolation,
we lament,
we scream,
Stop your lies.
No matter what you say,
people are dying,
loved ones,
mothers and fathers,
children,
sisters and brothers.
Our loved ones,
not yours.
A world that’s sick.
Your numbers,
without emotion,
without remorse.
Is life restored?
Do they make you great?
You erase our grief,
your phony proclamations,
false hope.
Are you God,
our salvation,
when you worship you?
Stop your lies,
so we can begin to heal.
