We Turn To God
Throughout our lives, we experience expectation,
disappointment, curiosity, love, fear, bigotry, and hate.
And therefore, Fate imbued us with Hope
to deal with life's uncertainties.
Life mirrors a Greek tragedy
more so than a fantasy dream.
Through tragedy, we test the conscience
of humankind;
confronting catastrophic events,
that allows us a window into our souls.
Humanity's story is a beautifully written play
employing metaphor, hyperbole, pathos, and contrition,
to enhance our roles on and off-stage:
attempting to console us for life's unrehearsed rolls.
We live in a world composed of reality
defused with fantasy and imagination:
where love is elusive,
and so precious, as to awe us with its beauty;
and scare us with its fragility.
Kindness should be its own reward:
but in the guise of charity and altruism,
Evil has learned to manipulate our thoughts and deeds.
Unfortunately, nothing in life is free of criticism:
not even our perceptions of good and evil.
And so, we turn to God;
praying for His Divine wisdom
to guide us: for we're only human, after all.
