Yes, I Questioned God
She led him on, through the busy Congo junction
He only knew sound, oh and touch
She only knew sight and touch, and love
Their bones ached I guess, the tatters, the dirt, the old age!
He, he followed faithfully towards a Matatu that refused them
Oh the Makanga, that son of man, god, goddess, whatever!
So I asked God, WHY???
He looked up and stared and I stared back,
My mum taught me; staring is a bad behavior,
I did anyway, proudly!
I saw he was tired, old, sick
Oh my God! He carried a log on his shoulder
Still he walked on, in Kileleshwa
The cars, the houses, the wealth, the poverty bare!
I dared the question, until WHEN Lord???
The vicar this Sunday
Oh yes he will goddem say it
“God knows everything, He says trust me.”
I will retort, I will sneer, I will say it
“To hell with you all and your gods!”
The sheep will throw a WHAT??
God loves everyone the same
Some die of hunger, poor health, injustice!
All the same, God loves
God is all powerful and mighty, He is LORD!
Gadhafi, Hitler, Osama, Moi
They all lived among us
Genocide, terrorism, corruption, America!
They all kiss us “good night”
I beg the question
Is God good all the time;
All the time God is good???
You worry me, with your mouth agape
Save your judgment, I will save my sarcasm
What have I done to help?
What God is doing to help, I ask back
“God does not make what happens”
Save me the sermon,
I know not of Satan, devil, serpent, my foot!
The father rapes, the mother is murdered, the man is righted
The world is happy, crap! The world is sad!
A million sleep in the streets, a bunch in the slumbers
Patience in Jehovah you say???
I rest my case, I case with the owner of me
I case and question my existence
If at all it is any better than any of the rest
That others are used to show me grace and gratefulness
Vicar, are you serious, this sermon, really?
A leg she misses, where is the grace?
The grace in me having one, she doesn’t!!!
Yes I question God, WHY???
