Notes About The Poem

THE PLEA

A blasphemer, I am not, my Lord, 
And 
A blasphemer, I shall never be, 
However, 
On my knees, I, Your ignorant servant, humbly dare ask:
"Why do You, my heavenly Father, allow,
Your magnificent edifice of luminous Love, 
to be, constantly, overshadowed,
by 
the grotesque constructions,
of 
obscure hate?"

Andrea Dietrich August 7, 2026 at 9:44 PM This world is so far removed from what God wanted for us. Good poem! Andrea Dietrich August 9, 2026 at 12:32 AM Thanks, Poet Demetrios Trifiatis August 8, 2026 at 6:33 AM The more one believes in God, the more one realizes how much people are removed from God, dearest Andrea.

Tom Cunningham August 6, 2026 at 4:58 AM I've often wondered that myself Demetrios, everywhere you look evil lurks, is our faith being tested to see which we will choose.? There's a constant battle between good and evil but I believe good will one day claim victory. Hope your week is going well. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis August 6, 2026 at 7:06 AM Tom, my gracious friend, I am happy to see you once more. You are so right to wonder what is going on with so much evil attacking the world. Yes, I too believe that good will prevail over evil. Unfortunately, for now evil has the upper hand. For that reason, all good people should join forces to fight evil so that peace and love may prevail. Thank you! 😊
