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
