i pleaded with God tonight
for a revolution
some apocalyptic event
that would force us
to overhaul our hearts
open our eyes
and unclench our fists
i pleaded with God tonight
for a world-wide shift
between families
and friends
lovers
partners
corporations
and governments
what happened to the Prophets
that once showed us the way
i pleaded with God tonight
for kindness
and generosity
love
and compassion
the fundamental basic attributes
that once defined the very act
of being human
existing intelligently
in this one same body
i pleaded with God tonight
for my very own awakening
a complete and utter
absolute and fundamental
purgation of who i once thought
that i was to be
when i can finally embrace myself
in the image of our God
all that i am wanting
nay dreaming
of this valiant world to be
