Pray for the world

*I wrote this one on a lazy Sunday afternoon while watching the news in the comfort of my own home. Then I realize, how long do we have til the place we call home isn't safe anymore? :(

Unwanted deaths.

Deaths before their time.

Deaths so cruel it made the world cry.

So this is it, right?

The beginning of the end.

There'd be no end nor completion to this.

They wouldn't stop until they get their word out there.

This will just go on and on,

And it will only get a lot worse.

So let's pray. 

Not to stop it, because I don't think any human can.

But let's pray for us to see hope behind all this.

For our faith to grow stronger as this grows a lot wilder.

To keep on searching for that one particular light.

To understand that this is reality and it is inevitable.

To ready our hearts to whatever's coming its way.

To prepare our souls for the life thereafter.

I am nobody, only a single tiny particle on this vast earth.

but a part me aches for the ones who lost a loved one on the recent catastrophes.

It bleeds for the words of love, hope, or maybe forgiveness that weren't spoken before they left this world.

The last hugs and kisses that will never ever happen.

And those are the ones that will haunt the people they left behind,

For as long as they shall live.

I don't know how to tell you this, but something tells me everything,

Like everything, is going to be okay.
