There are days when my mind wanders
to places I would rather not be
Through forests of devastation
and lakes of disease
Although it is hard to fathom
in the little life of me
there are so many people out there
suffering endlessly
Then there is the evil
who breathe our same air
they walk amongst us, camouflaged
filling lives with despair
Many pray for answers
for the reasons of such sorts
Many turn their heads and walk away from Him
wondering why a loving God causes so much hurt.
We all have life lessons
I verily sing the truth
that as terrible as things may be
It is not Him who hurts you.
"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" - Leonard Cohen
Author notes
prompt-
use of the word of the day : verily
Function: In truth, in fact.
with confidence; assuredly
There is a Universal Law; the Law of Attraction. I wish to state that we do have a choice of where life takes us.
I am not saying that it is not sad that evil posseses lives and ruins them or that the sick or poor want to be... I am one who believes that we all chart our lives before birth and there is a "Spiritual Growth" that we choose and hardships is one of them.
There is a balance, there could not be one without the other; we must endure some bad to witness the wonderful... and although it may seem that this world is a terrible place sometimes...
one must move past the negetive to see the beauties and marvels that God brings us everyday.

I like your write, it sounds familiar to me for some reason. Anyway, awesome job delving into the dark parts of one's past. I really enjoyed the metaphor, very creative! You are right here you know? It is not God who hurt's people, it is sometimes the people who use the religion to suit their own needs... Great write

Life with all it' woes and sadness....
the weary world .......
it gets harder to make sense of things these days.....
it seems evil wins and goodness goes without......
but we each have a star.....a guide...
free will.....
some of us have made the crack....'so we can see what works against the good honest people in this world...
Jesus must save himself...
from us...
who use his name for war and death and greed....
without love...we will never be free....
we can call on him to save us.....
but we have fooled him to many times...
he may be the one who has forsaken us.
Excellent,
Liam
