Where Were You Today My Lord

Just a few pertinent (impertinent?) questions

Just Wonderin’

Where are you today Lord?

There are so many children cryin’…

So many mothers tears fallin’

So many babies dyin’

Is today a  heavenly Holiday?

Do Gods need a rest?

Why not just make a miracle

Put suffering to the test?

Why let suffer all the innocents?

It puzzles me no end

And makes not the slightest sense

Are you enemy…or are you friend?

To not provide a simple crust of bread

A meager bowl of gruel

What’s going on in your heavenly head

That you should seem so cruel?

Could the needless deaths

Have lost their sting?...

Do you not count the last drawn breaths

As no more than pearls…’pon an endless string?

It seems clear that there’s a pattern here

Repeated since creation 

That the innocent are not held dear

Nor worthy of salvation

I’m just a simple man of no great insight

But I often wonder (when I’m bored)

Wondering about mankind’s plight

And wonderin’  where you are this very night

…Just wondering My Lord…

Been there done that
I do wonder myself some days with all the violence and suffering
Good poem
