Good and evil…


We cry and complain of the atrocities in life,
And blame our God above!
Who gave us our breath and birth!
This God that we so should love!
And when things go wrong as they will,
We look to Him for the blame,
Pass all the evil and bad to Him,
And I guess just about everyone is the same!

He gave us the paths in life,
We get to choose down what road we go,
Good and evil, wrong and right,
And thoughts in the brain that we should know!
And as we plod on through life,
We see terrible things along the way,
Murders, muggings, rapes and such,
And world devastations almost every day!

Of course when these things occur,
We blame Him right away!
Wondering how this Icon wise,
Didn't hold up His hand and stay;
Stay the hurt and pain in the world,
And stop the evil that causes such strife,
The terrible atrocities of the world,
And the snatching of many a life!

Then we are told that this Icon wise,
Didn't do all these terrible acts!
But how can that be so, when we all know,
That we are the holders of all the facts!
Devastations of the world are not His,
We are told is true - for this is a God of love!
Yet insurances won't cover the costs of these acts,
For they are classed as an act of God!

And the murders of innocent children,
The lives of horror that a lot bear,
Are not caused by this Icon wise,
Well tell me, is this at all fair?
For if the paths we take of good and evil;
Are of the personal choice of man,
How can it be so, they get away with murder,
Is this all part of God's plan?

Because I'm at a loss, I really am,
For I believe yes, we are given free choice!
But to allow evil to harm little children!
That's when I'll use my voice!
For the children that suffer so much,
And bear such sadness and pain!
Why?  For they are not the evil ones!
So why does it happen again and again?

So I'm sorry for my doubting,
But on this issue, I use my free choice!
And that choice is to lay this one at His feet!
For I am allowed to use my voice!
If I were not to question and accept,
Everything that told to me…
Then I think I would be gullible,
And I'm far from that you see!

So for now I accept certain things,
But the acceptance of the cruelty in life,
I'm afraid that I can never do that!
For the horrors in the world that cut like a knife!
I am told by many different religious people,
That none of this is by Gods hand!
But how can that be so, and how would they feel,
If it was their child taken by evils hand?

For I jest you not, and I tell you this,
For the evil that occurs in my life so true!
I will lay it at His feet, until the time comes,
It can be explained by Him, so this is what I do!
I keep my thoughts and feelings true!
True in my head and in my heart!
For how can I accept that the children cry!
And from life snatched, and hearts torn apart!

By The Choice Of Good And Evil?

I Can't…

Because Little Children Are The Victims!

The Innocents Of That Very Evil!!!
