God - Good, Bad Or Neutral

Not a single person is happy on earth
Still we praise God for his bountiful love and worth
If God were all powerful as everyone affirms
Why doesn't he end all our problems and confirms

So many die of hunger, so many unwell
Every one suffering, for many life is a hell
If he were a true father, he should find this unbearable
With true love his actions are no way comparable

Scriptures state we suffer for our sins
Because God gave us free will we sin
When we sin he watches without stopping us
Either he lacks power or doesn't care about us

God is heartless and merciless of all
Every sin we do punishment does befall
Sinners he will never acquit
No one can sin and get away with it

What I feel I am telling you
God is as helpless as me and you
If not helpless at least moody for sure
Not all you ask you will get I am sure

I feel God is neither bad nor good  
He is a mere spectator doing what he should
He is doing it all maybe for livelihood
His role is definitely misunderstood

Rama, I don't know the answers or how to question, but I know since I was small anytime I needed Him I called on Him and He always came. Peace, is what he always gave me. I hope you find the answers. Dear friend Hugs
