Why Hath This Universe Given Sorrow Its Great Powers

Why hath this Universe given Sorrow its great powers,
with hard, dark rains, that our sad souls it showers?
Booming echoes that shatter bone's marrows
penetrating depths of anguish's lair with blackest arrows.
Why does Fate bequeath it with such insidious blades,
where its armies into crying hearts issue slaying raids?
If such answers found, perhaps we could again stand tall,
with truth and courage's depths, rise and not again fall!

Why hath Destiny granted Sorrow such malevolent force
that we pawns, are washed away in its raging course?
Can no higher power, defeat this wicked, malignant malady
Rescue our weeping souls, send us the needed remedy?
Why must those seven unmerciful doors all be black,
are we so far fallen as to never get back on track?
If answers were found, perhaps we could again stand tall,
with truth and courage's depths rise and not again fall!

Why hath Love been cursed by not giving us greater shields,
march us in peace across bright and rose strewn fields?
When shall the blinders be removed from deceived eyes
stay the red flow and stop the epic and wailing cries?
Can life ever progress far enough to such knowledge find
relief for love-lost heartaches and such tortured minds?
If answers were found, perhaps we could again stand tall,
with truth and courage's depths, rise and not again fall! 

Why hath this Universe given Sorrow its great powers,
with hard, dark rains, that our sad souls it showers?
Booming echoes that shatter bone's marrows
penetrating depths of anguish's lair with blackest arrows.
Why does Fate bequeath it with such insidious blades,
where its armies into crying hearts issue slaying raids?
If such answers found, perhaps we could again stand tall,
with truth and courage's depths, rise and not again fall!

Note- Blessed is the person that has never felt the deepest depths of sorrow in the loss of a dear loved one.
May it ever be so for thee.
