Hypocrites

Here lies the hypocrisy of God
A man that lived with what was given
Learnt to make due with his condition
But still God left him to his struggles 

Here lies a man of God
A man whose life is proof of God
But his life was marred with pain
While all he did was chose to be a good man 

It's sad the man never faltered 
If he had maybe God would have had reason
Reason to not come to his aid when needed
For the same life that he tried to live killed him 

This man taught himself patience
And hoped that God will come to his aid
In his wait he remained loyal
But his reward was eventually pain 

Does it mean that this man was unworthy
Or why would God let him suffer this way
For if its a test then it's leaving a bad taste 
Or is it punishment for being good? 

If so the man lying here is long gone
And the one that awakes will be born a new
For if life is by his hands he better soil his hands
Cause he's clean hands were deemed guilty and lazy
