Who Am I To Question Any Soul

Who are you that loved me from afar
Yet did forsake me when the night came down?
Who are you that loved a distant star
Was Bethlehem your hoped for little town?

Who am I to question any soul
When I have done bad deeds when overwhelmed?
Who am I to seek another whole
When I have  lingered long in sorrow’s realms?

Who is God that he should seek us out
When we’ve ignored his  messengers and saints?
Who is God and why do  we have doubts?
The world’s  his canvas  which our evil taints.

Should we not seek   leaders of more  worth?
Instead  we fall to  savagery  and doubt

I like the that the couplet (surprisingly) doesn't rhyme. Ties into your theme of human imperfection, reinforcing the incompleteness of our potential. Nice write!
