Omnipotence

If there is any deity out there,
And if you hear my voice cracking,
Why’d you let the seams tear,
And let the animosity come tacking. 
I’ve built you up in my faith,
I’ve built you up an effigy. 
But I’ve been accompanied by a wraith,
Who tirelessly consumes me. 
If you are there, why am I alone?
If you are there, why haven’t you called?
The lack of answers I’ve been shown,
Like the blind sheep, I’ve too been lulled. 
So tell me, where are you now,
When I needed you the most?
I cannot and will not bow,
To an ungracious host. 
Are you unable to dow,
Or are you this haunting ghost?
Show me what I can do,
How do I appease you?
Show me what to do,
So I can get through. 
An omnipotence calling in sick,
I bet you think you’re pretty slick. 
Show me the way to go,
Show me what I need to know.

I think David is simply staying to choose what is meaningful. And from my perspective, people are furious at God(he has a name, though, admitedly unpopular) for not delivering on what they think is right. God doesn't work on our time schedules so we get angry at Him. We know better? Or so we think. I do understand how you feel. Been there,,,ouch! Panagiota He's there for you! Blessings

I’m not outwardly calling out God, just moreso calling out fate/destiny. It’s not really supposed to be a religious thing, just supposed to be a showcasing of anger at anyone but oneself. As far as time schedules, I believe in fate and I believe in God as well, but I also strongly believe that you can change your fate. Fate to me isn’t set in stone, it’s more a guideline to your life that can bend due to the freewill you were born with(God).

These are questions many people ask. If we channel all our efforts into pursuing what is meaningful and not what we think will make us happy, the results seem to be better. Sorry. A simple answer to a very complicated question.

Things that are meaningful are generally things that make us happy? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say?
