Joan Donnelly Ellis Poet Verse

God Knows Why

God Knows Why

 God knows why a grown man will lie
 While people will wrongfully assume
 The man is just a another loser
 A sociopath in whom truth has no room
 But God was watching when the man was a boy
 And another ripped away his security, his joy
 Leaving him shattered, confused and supposing
 He must have committed some wrongs
 For he no longer feels he belongs
 Now lies protect his vulnerability
 A liar molded from another's jealousy
 Why could she not know his devastating state
 Prompted by her own self-serving hate
 Yes it is true 
 She crippled the innocent one
 For selfish gain, she caused his pain
 Denying what she had done
 Throughout his growing years
 His lies salt her tears
 She regards him of little worth
 All the while she was the cause
 By separating him from the one he loved best
 Now she lives with consequence of her sin
 Knowing her child suffers deep within
 She persists in claiming he lies by choice
 She is the damaged one
 Who destroyed the stability once known by her son
 My prayer is that God will deliver him one day
 Awaken his pure ,honest heart she drove away
 Now a man he doesn't know how precious he is
 He despises himself and when alone he will cry
 He does not know what makes him lie 
 But God knows why....and so do I
