Poem Title:
Poem
Rationalisation of Explanation Do not question The almighty plan For such are the reprisals of fear That turn blind despair into adulation The evident proof Existent in raped women and children Irrefutable in famished stomachs Undisguised in all the suffering Hangs stark and uncompromising Humanity through centuries of historical brutality Has treated us with its incontinent blood And defiled every precept of love “Nothing” has come to save us. But still we cling Desperate in our own life times For some semblance of a reason Prepared to receive the miracle Which never comes One day they say Is one thousand years in the mind of God And so All these prayers will never be answered Not until the human voice For a millennia has repeated a single word It is an existence of shame in heaven That such cruelty Does not comprehend This state of being called “Human” Of one life times capacity to be So free and so very happy We pass unrealised in all our potential Having lived our lives in suffering Nailed up and stripped to idiot faith In some bland concept of Gods fathers day Turns every apparent truth Into the conceivable lies of fools Explain if you would The torment Rationalise by some beliefs excuse of a plan How God allows this to happen Faith is a mockery Which does not accept responsibility and allows us to close our eyes And continue to live in luxury And while mankind persists in its idolatry of God And passes the buck To some unknown biblical saviour Some Messiah who will receive all our sin Half the world continues starving Raping, warring, murdering, thirsting Dieing of curable diseases Judged by their colour Living in hovels on rubbish tips Pogroms of sectarian violence Racial cleansing Oil pipelines And nationalistic patriotic flag waving God It is an existence of shame in heaven That such cruelty Does not comprehend This state of being called Human Of one life times capacity to be So free and so very happily Exultant
