Is He There?

by Anoushka Das aged 14

He has made this world with such love and care
And like a father gifted us with life
And imparted to us our precious air
Our lives balanced on the edge of a knife

So graciously he left us to our ways
To learn and gain experience from sins
And since then we have lived in a blood red haze
In a bloody gamble to see who wins

We have split our families out of spite
Ruthlessly chained our people to the ground
We have bathed in blood to prove our might
And still we long to hear the gunshot sound

God has made this world with such love and care
But I can’t help wonder, is he there?
