Lament of a Little One Lost in Sea

 

It’s dark all around me
Waves and swells of a rough sea
Pitch black bottomless darkness

Harkens to me

I came to this world

Without given a choice

Where I was born

Language I would speak

Who I do pray

Environment I be in

Always told

If I am good

All forgiving, all powerful, all merciful

Will take care of me

What wrong I had done

Few years I had on this earth

Abandoned now in my time of need

Told that across the sea

Lies the promised land

Where I would be free

Dead in the middle of night

Did we flee

Did not have a hand

When we left the only place

I knew as my home

I had no choice
As the marauding hordes
Calling themselves the ones

Chosen by god

Came rampaging

Hell bent on killing us all

I was promised that if I am quiet

On the boat sailing the sea

Once we land

I will be home safe and free

I was quiet, did not even cry

When the big waves swept me away

Away from my only hope

Never once I opened my mouth

Hoping for the almighty to take me home

It is darkness now all around me

Not a star up in the sky

They had chosen the darkest night

For a safe trip across the sea

The hand of darkness from the 

Depth of the bottomless sea

Crawling up to take me down

I can not lose my faith in the almighty

Whom I have never seen

If there is life after death

And we do meet

I will have one question

Why was I chosen to leave

Before I was old enough

To lose my faith

In humanity
