A Palindromic Question

I wonder why
God permits pain and murder
Evil undermines faith
Painful, isn’t it

It isn’t painful
Faith undermines evil
Murder and pain permits God
Why, wonder I

Hmmmm, this one is gonna be VERY difficult to try!! I think you did prettty well, I just wonder how you could do it so as not to have to invert that next to last line. LOve the line "Faith undermines evil." I will really need my thinking cap on if I undertake THIS one. LUv, Andrea
