A poem
I woke up with another taste of bitterness in my lips because of certain things I fail at. chatted with my friend and learned something sad which prompted me to realize that my life isn't so bad and that there are greater things to be thankful for. that there are other people with a more unfortunate happenstance than I.
this is my view of things (maybe even a tribute to them because I happened to watch Oprah last night and saw the children dying).
If there’s a God
If there’s a God in this world or not
How can He be so cruel?
If there’s a God in our lives and souls
How can He be so apathetic?
If there’s a God who would take our lives
Why must he take the good ones?
If there’s a God who loves us
Why can’t he understand our plight?
So much pain
So much suffering
So much in need
The famine, the murder, the deaths
The injustice, the inequality, the partiality of it all
Is this the world where God rules?
Is this the life which God grants?
Is this the love which God shows?
What is the truth then?
What is the salvation?
Is it God? Nay, because God gave us the will to save ourselves
Is it us? Nay, we cannot be so arrogant to think so
We are tiny specks in a universe filled with tiny specks
But we are humungous in a world filled by us
It is belief
It is faith
It is courage
It is honor and dignity
These are only words, yet words that hold true
That God does exist
We might not comprehend His intentions
Yet we might who can say?
In the end, it is our belief that sets us free
It is our faith that gives us salvation
It is our courage that lets us live a good life
It is our honor and dignity that lets us die a good death
