Questions For God

I wish I had a straight line to heaven,
I’d ask God a question or two.
With all of these different beliefs, 
I wonder just what we should do.

Is it ok to read stories to our children, 
like the old tale of green eggs and ham.
How about the ugly duckling, 
or the legendary Sam I am.

With each life that is brought into this world,
how do you see them from above.
Why do some abandon their children,
while others give them unending love.

How can some drugs have more value, 
than poor Billy or sweet little Ann?
What exactly are your thoughts on this world, 
and its religion, organized by man.

These are just a few of my questions,
they’ll be answered one day, I have faith.
Until then please dwell in my heart,
and forgive me for causing any scathe.

Lin Lane Date: 10/10/2023 7:41:00 PM Your faith is plain to see through your lines, Mark. If anyone tries to answer your questions, make sure they can back up what they preach through their actions. Login to Reply Mark Koplin Date: 10/13/2023 7:13:00 AM Indeed my friend! Thanks

Jan Allison Date: 10/9/2023 9:29:00 PM I will let you ask the questions Mark, as you know I have little faith and do I really want to go to heaven when I see such hypocrisy here on earth and soup .. at least i know won't have to meet the troll doing his parrot impression. hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Mark Koplin Date: 10/13/2023 7:12:00 AM He is just screaming jibberish from his book written by man. God is a little more in depth. Lin Lane Date: 10/10/2023 7:37:00 PM Lol Jan

Arthur Vaso Date: 10/8/2023 12:39:00 AM This is not just beautiful poetry, if fills all the check marks for good poetry. This also resonated with me, as the message is full of empathy and kindness, not the judgment one often sees. Loved this.

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 10/7/2023 8:32:00 PM Ah Mark, today I too am before God asking questions. He knows my emotions :/ Then I apologize, then I hear more on the news and again just "????!" I know He is good, He is God, this world is a mess, but happily, He is not. Today has been a desperately sad day. Thank you for your poem, I appreciate it. Maybe we can ask Him later but hopefully, we'll forget to ask being too happy viewing the joyful eternal to ever remember sadness or confusion again. I can only hope and pray.
