Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Dear Eileen

Dear God

Why did you give the Raven wings?
He has hunted me all my life
Why do you let the bee’s sting?
My honey is always sweet yet I feel the sting
Why do you let the oceans flood?
Or the mountains topple the village?
Why dear god you give people defective hearts?
Do you long to see the tears?
Is life full of woe your funny game?
I saw a man the other day, with no heart at all
Al-Baghdadi the butcher, making rivers flow red
Has he not loved even once a pretty woman?
So that love would flow in his silly head?

Dear Man

I gave you flowers so that you may smell the beauty
I gave you freedom to do as you wish
I gave the raven wings so that nature would thrive
I gave the bees all they have so that you may taste the sweetness of life
I gave you a heart
I gave you breath
I suffer from above that with all the tools I have bestowed upon you
You have not built a house of the lord
Of heart, of soul, of peace, of serenity
It is I who prays daily
You, you stop praying, STOP
Instead
Fulfill my prayers and the heavens shall sing and dance
Angels in white shall celebrate
Love shall flourish
For ever more
Amen

Cherl Dunn June 23, 2014 at 6:21 PM I like how you did this write of the two letters answering each other pretty cool idea on this true artful work. I love the letter from God the best though, it's so true he gave us so much, than let us have freedom of chose to do with what we wished with these wonderful gifts given from him. I could imagine this divine being siting up on hi watching over us and wondering what and why did we have this desion or that one. so great job. cheri again thanks for your comments on my wings of ebony.

Cherl Dunn June 23, 2014 at 6:16 PM Arthur lol glad you enjoyed your poem I wrote for you, Feathers of ebony, I enjoyed the two poems you wrote about the raven's so much I was inspired to do that one for you. I love the part about the feathers being spread as leaves, believe it or not I did the whole thing while I was at work yesterday. I was avoiding managers all day long lol. But I was driven to finish it. Love this work of yours also well done as always my friend, cheri Arthur Vaso June 24, 2014 at 5:31 PM Thanks Cherl, I sure did enjoy reading one!!!
