Godliness (haiku)

The world in ruins
Innocents fodder of war
Where is your god now?

In war and battle, God seeminly hides his head in disgust and..waits. Oh, he's called upon many times; "Oh, dear God..." "Oh God Ple-e-e-e-ase!" He's damned quite often. And yet, wars rage on and man plays the starring role...
Nice haiku. Evokes strong emotional response, just as they are intended to do...

Wow, this is very powerful. I myself have been dabbling with haikus/Senryus(form of Japanese poetry) lately. Check them out if you would like:)

I love haiku for the simple fact that you can say so much with so little... and you have done so here, very well. Beautifully and clearly stated.

It is true that much of war has been about religion, I have always found this ironic in the supreme.

Nice topic.
