The Knife he used,
To slit her throat,
Was the one he used,
To cut his rope.
Hanging from a light,
With the knot he tied.
Running from his guilt,
With suicide.
Her life un-wilingly,
Taken away.
She had no savior,
God was off that day!
God? You say,
That Prick in the sky?
The one who continues,
To let people die?
Told by fools,
To "always pray",
But why fucking bother?
No one hears what I say!
Childhood moments,
Spent talking to the air.
An innocent child,
Believing he was there.
Ignorance is bliss,
And I was happy for awhile!
But now all my hatred,
Is laced with a smile.
A loved one was lost,
Now buried in muck!
Where was God then?
He didn't give a fuck!
So now when you tell me,
Gods here to heal my fate,
Forgive me when I say,
He's a lifetime to late!

I just had e retreat in school today and it just seems totally relevant to tell you!! The man who talked to us helped me see alot more to God!! I do love God in the sense that he gives so many people hope and life, and maybe in time he can do the same for me but at the moment Im not ready to accept him and I know im not so at least I can admit it eh? Im just still so angry and hurt really, Ill be saved im sure maybe by god or some one else only time will tell!! honestly thanks so much for thinking of me its very apreciated!! maeve x

You are not stupid and you are not a fool. In fact what you feel is very normal. A lot of people ask the question why and God doesn't mind that. Sometimes it doesn't make sense why people do the things they do and it seemed to me like the girl you were talking about was murdered. I would be angry too in this case; anyone would, but the person to be angry with is the one who killed her. God gaves free will and we choose the choicecs we make in our lives sometimes evil gets the better of people and the innocent get caught in their crossfire. It is hard to grasp that. Even harder when the answers lay right before us and they are simple but so many choose the road of destruction instead because it seems like it is so much more fun and they take others with them.
I am very sorry for your loss and wish there was a way to make you feel better. I will pray for you and that you find the peace that you need. -
Ah no I actually really liked your comment! The fact that my poem provoked your thoughts is brilliant! I don't always blame god i do realise people make thier own choices! but when people are constantly telling me that she's with god and that he is taken her, I just grow to hate him more because why did he? and why like that? stupid i know but I can't change how I feel or think logically about something I care so much about! If That makes me sound stupid then oh well im a fool!!
thanks for the comment M. -
This was a very powerful poem and you could feel the emotions in every line. The anger and the bitterness were prevelant. I find it interest however that when a person dies people act like this is the first person to ever die. Death is a fact of life. Everyone dies we know this that is not a secret. If the subject in this poem took another life and then his own he is guilty of that crime and he took his life not God. If God took his life then maybe it was because of the horrible crime he commited. So why does God get blamed? If a person goes around claiming they murdered someone because God told them to then we deem them crazy and say God didn't tell you to do it you did yourself. So why is this different? I am just curious. And the happiness you felt; do you think maybe you felt it because Christ was in your life at the time and now you don't feel that way because you stopped believing. I can realte to the anger you feel. I have much to be angry about in my life as well, but I came to the realization that what I have to be angry about was not an act of God but an act of the people in my life that had choices, but they made the wrong ones. I know your not going to like this comment very much but I guess I just don't like to see someone with so much obvious pain, hatred, and anger. It festers and eventually eats us alive.

thanks for entering and good luck, I liked it.
I wrote a poem called Giddy on the Bible (gideon gettit?) regarding the futility of prayer, I mean, if "God" is perfect and infallible what is the point of us asking him to change his perfect plans via prayer?
My god religion is stupid. -

amazing
I don't believe in God. I used to, because he was the easy solution, its the hard times I realised he wasn't there. You expressed your emotions very well and I am amazed by how well this worked Amazing, (btw, i corrected the pre-write thing

Nice job, you deffinitly did let it all out. I agree what you have said about God, why bother trying to talk to him when he never bothers to answer or do anything about your problems in the first place.
