Dae Pecuniae

1. My wish is just selfish, maybe ignorant. But I beg you to put back the pieces in my life
2. Are you there? I, I , I just called to see if your there. Sometimes, sometimes I feel I'm weak, sometimes I hate you, mostly, I, I, just wonder if your there. Are you there?
3. God, If you are love, then why are we subjected to an increasing injustice throughout the world? Do you show us love by tormenting us? It doesn't make any sense.

Vocari Dei

4. I just want you to speak to me.
5. I'm still waiting for you god. I prey because i deserved to be finished. Goodbye god, goodbye to you all.
6. I don't trust in any god, I don't know who god is, but I know what god should be
7. Well take a look here, take a good look at what you've created.
8. Hi god, this is Lorenzo, I wanted to ask you something. Why life is so hard? Why love isn't? pure? why I cant really be me, not someone else. I just want to be me.
9. Hey, god, this is (??). I just wanted to thank you for being with me when my life seemed to fall apart. You carried me through my darkest hours and I'm very grateful for that. Thank you.
10. Hi god, its me from earth. I know you haven't returned any of my previous calls, but maybe your simply not there. But here it goes again. I wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of this world, but didn't you also give us people minds to explore and question, so where are you? and where have you been when we needed you the most?
11. (???? ?? ?? ?? ?) I must be drunk or far away, for I no longer believe in you anymore. So I talked to another priestess, cuz I figured this out, for all the horror, the grief and suffering in this world, either your a cruel entity for not changing things, or you dont exist.
12. Please tell me why these horrible things happen? Why did those two towers have to fall? and how can you let that happen? Does there have to be such hatred in this world? Why must society struggle to build, (??? ??) tolerance?
13. I've prayed every day for weeks now, why wont you answer my prayers? Prove to me and so many others why I should continue to pray? I have faith in my friends and my family, isn't that enough?
14. Child mumbling
15. Please god, if you exist, help me believe that the world is real, that I am real, and that my feelings are real, that we are more than just a coincidence.
16. This world has what we can give.
17. (same as 15) Speak to me, I wont ask you to save me, I just want you to speak to me.
18. Hi, and I apologise to you for, you know. I just want to say I'm sorry, and, thank you. Oh, and one more thing, please, help me fly.
19. Please, come and take me away from this shit, I cant take it any more. They're all devouring me, I have no?? left. I'm so lost. God? (cries)
20. Japanese
21. other Asian language
22. Aah, yeah, er, listen god, um, I'd just like to say a really big thank you on behalf of e, everybody. Thanks for getting the whole thing started, an, for getting it off the ground, but, I think that this time we have really screwed things up, and I am so so sorry.
23. I need you now, I need you.
