When will we learn – 
I mean really learn
who we are?
As I read
the fragile pages
of our journey with You,
I wonder if it’s even possible.
For how many thousands of years
have we relied on ourselves 
instead of You?
My soul fills with shame
as the stories of yesteryear 
ring still so true 
of today’s human race – 
pride,
deceit,
greed,
violence,
selfishness.
When will we learn – 
I mean really learn
who we are – 
and how much
we
need
You?
