is god fake? (part two)
thanks for everyone's responses to my last post. i absolutely love it when people are willing to dialogue with each other about the questions of life!i will post my responses to your comments soon, keep checking the comment section of the blog below for further discussion.
but here is my next question . . .
many of us know j and k. i just heard today that their 8 week old baby who has been very sick and in icu since she was born will probably die today.
this is heartbreaking.
in addition to that, a dear sweet co-worker of mine has recently started her second round of chemo and i am sickened as i watch it knock her flat.
it seems that these things always happen to the best of us.
what do you do with tragedy like this when it happens?
-------------------
i've come again
like a new year
to crash the gate
of this old prison
i've come again
to break the teeth and claws
of this man-eating
monster we call life
i've come again
to puncture the
glory of the cosmos
who mercilessly
destroys humans
i am the falcon
hunting down the birds
of black omen
before their flights
i gave my word
at the outset to
give my life
with no qualms
i pray to the Lord
to break my back
before i break my word
how do you dare to
let someone like me
intoxicated with love
enter your house
you must know better
if i enter
i'll break all this and
destroy all that
if the sheriff arrives
i'll throw the wine
in his face
if your gatekeeper
pulls my hand
i'll break his arm
if the heavens don't go round
to my heart's desire
i'll crush its wheels and
pull out its roots
you have set up
a colorful table
calling it life and
asked me to your feast
but punish me if
i enjoy myself
what tyranny is this
