The Gods Must Be Crazy

The Gods must be crazy Blessing longer lives to ailing some while snatching from many young, Showering immense riches on few as hunger strikes to those not getting their due, Sufferings made for the very kind flourish the rogues as you pretend to be blind, Educated subdued to work under fools Assigned deep digging in dark but no tools, Oh Gods! You must be crazy ! Did you allow flowers to bloom without Spring ? Then how in fuming passion one can sing ? Could dark clouds fly without swift wind ? Then how bruises of soul can heal tamarind ? You gave us courage and then parting, You gave us hope and then despair, You gave us faith and then disgust, You blessed us peace and then put to war, Are we the marionettes and you the puppeteer ? Gods you must be crazy, yes you are crazy !! Written Jan 7th, 2016 For contest by John Lawless
