When Will You Return?

How long before You return?
The Earth, she yearns to see Your face 
Her soul shakes in anticipation 
I do not know if she can take this much longer 
Upon her stand men who take no honor in her beauty 
They act as if it is their duty 
to destroy all You created
They trample her gardens 
With no regard as they tarnish 
that which You made 
By Your breath You gave her life 
Please tell me You wont just stand by....
Idly as she dies 
Tell me You'll intervene 
For she seems to be getting so weak
Her future looks bleak 
Tell me who will speak for her worth? 
My soul hurts as I hear her cries 
My eyes well with tears 
It's clear to me the damage is irreversible 
and worst of all.... 
I have no idea when You will return 
and turn right the wrongs 
that have been done upon Your creation 
I'm trying to remain patient 
but it is hard
I am scarred from all the violence I see
Blood stains the streets of this world  
Politics and Greed 
Corruption and Thieves 
Tell me please....how much more 
will Mother Earth have to endure 
of these horrendous conditions? 
How long before Your people Listen instead of speak?
Seek instead of wander? 
Be wise rather than squander away all that You gave
I wonder is there even a way 
to heal her wounds so deep
Dry the tears she weeps?
I keep hoping today will be the day 
that You grace us with Your presence 
Shake the Heavens 
Take back what's Yours 
The souls that You created 
Your animals, Your Waters, Your people are all waiting for Your return.
