What About Us

Questioning God about our suffering

You have said to be sure to show loyalty to your Lord
Do not argue
Because you are our life's protector
You have said your creation will glorify the nature
Because you are the best creative creator and
Your creations are surrounded by millions of messengers and your blessings
But we are those unfortunates
who were kicked out of your beautiful garden completely
What will happen to those who fall in the defenseless water?
Millions of souls are hungry, what will happen to us?

We are your eternal beautiful sculptor,
We need a supportive hands on our head
What will happen to us?
We are the deaf people in the freedom of speech
What will happen to us?
We are the bourgeoisie-proletariat class in a capitalist society
chasing each other like mice and cat
Who will stop the exploitation?
We are divided into classes in the fight of equality
What will happen to us?
There is no scope to expand our vision
We are submerged in a deeply confused conscience
What will happen to us?
We are thousands of tortured people who want security
What will happen to us?

You said,
patience is one of the instruments, arrows, soldiers that never gets distracted
You said,
'Oh my children who believe in me!
Be patience and hold a firm actions of the challenges'
You also said,
'And be patience! Surely Allah is with you'
Oh Omnipotent! Oh Lord!
We are those who are constantly absorbed- we rise with questions
We are those who persevere in your mercy
We are impatience
What will happen to us?

Author's Note

My Mother always tells me that no matter what worse happen to you but always keep patience and have faith on Almighty believing that everything happens for a reason. In this poem i came up with question to Almighty that what about us who suffer from pain, racism, segregation, social clash, deprivation of human and civil rights? Can we hold patience anymore even though we hold faith on Almighty?

You raise many issues here. Questions without answers. I sometimes wonder myself why a loving God would allow such injustices to occur. But they happen and always will. I actually envy those people with a strong faith who believe things happen for a reason. I wish I could have their blind faith. A thought provoking read.

Thanks for your great review. I always look for your comment even in other writers's poem. You have a great sense of understanding the thought and process.

[Chris Shaw]

That really pleases me. I can write poetry but I have never considered my understanding of others work to be worthy.

[HB Rita]

It is worthy trust me. You inspire me

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you so much.

Comes across as a plea to God for help in a difficult time. The reference to Allah indicates the poet is Muslim. There is also the sense of hostility to capitalism. In many times, in many places people have offered prayers for deliverance. This is another of those times.

A lot of great questions, that will probably never receive answers. At least not in life...but do me a favor, if you every do receive those answers, write a poem about it!

your conviction leaves me doubting my own beliefs
Well done

[HB Rita]

Do not doubt. I clear it out on my note for your curiosity dear. Thanks

My frustration, anger showed up here

[BansheeGirl]

When I picture a God, I see him being angry and frustrated , and I would imagine very, very sad

[HB Rita]

God is always calm. Anger is our element
