Can I Complain and You Explain

(* This I wrote after my previous poem "GODS QUESTIONS", as I felt that it was a more realistic and honest way in which we try to understand God... both poems express different sides of the story) God could you please convey what it was I heard you say why do children die so young what of worldly wars unsung who allows the poor to starve when pain and illness make life hard Oh God please could I complain? you have grafted my soul through your grief yet worldly pain steals our faith and belief sons with failures--liars and foolish thieves will always stray ailing ramblers--lost and found friends will still betray whores and angels—cheating men leavers never stay separated--young orphan lives twisted forever grey racial haters—war creators politicians get their way lonely widows—distant fathers givers move away soulful saints—fallen warriors preachers always pray cynic doubters—fearful mothers faith tested every day Please explain- Mercy, Grace, Peace and Love in Your Eternal land above © Kim van Breda—March 2014
