Karma strikes a dastardly blow unto its subjects
Heart beats a dozen times a second
I've judged you and that is that: It was meant to happen
But dear Gods on high.. what did we do wrong?
So many things.. so many things...
Is it worth it I ask you, did we ask for this?
Did we wake up in the morning and torture
And make others bleed at our hand?
I am a simple human being.. I have done nothing
My country is not my entity.. my soul nor voice
Did I deserve to be killed for someone elses pain?
Did I deserve to be taken from my life to fulfill their gain?
I thought I was a good person for all to see
Who was it that told thou God to judge me?
Could you not see that I was good?
I loved my family with all my heart
Raised children and gave them everything
And you judge me so harshly to make me cry
Ruin my life and make me die...?
And now all is lost and forgotten beneath the rubble
Of what was once my home
So unfair.. so unfair.. so unfair...

You wrote pretty well, but I have to argue against the point you make in the poem.
The first part is your writing won't sound well with anyone who doesn't believe a God plans these things.
And for those who do believe, we have to look at a piece that questions God's intelligence and judgement, as well as wonder why that God goes on to judge us. It's kind of unproffesional and pointless, complaining to your God about the judgment he passes on you. (I don't mean you literally) -
'I am a simple human being.. I have done nothing

Did I deserve to be killed for someone elses pain?'
It is always the innocent who suffer the most. The majority of human beings do just that, raise a family and try to live a decent life, it is power and the love of power thaat creates the constant cycle of suffering.

This is a wonderfully compassionate poem, however, I disagree with the point.
My daughter loves to ride her bike. Sometimes she falls and gets hurt. Should I take the bike away to assure she never gets hurt? No. The bike is potential. It is the potential for many, many hours of great fun. It has the potential for tragedy, too. That is how life is. The only guarantee is the potential itself.
Would we have that potential taken away from our entire lives so that bad things would never happen? It is an absurd concept. We must take the bad potential with the good potential and realize that it is potential itself, bad AND good, that makes our lives so enriched. It is ultimately completely and totally fair. You just have to see the big picture and the alternative.
