You pointed And called it sin Deceptions, lies, the truth twisted well You condemned the actions and the man To hell. “My son is gone, killed as he walked by the house. He was a good man who prayed For peace.” “Surgical strikes today eliminated a leader of the radical movement. We will continue our campaign against terrorist and eliminate all threats.” Now, stones cast Break more than glass houses And no one seems to care If they are with or without sin It all plays out to some Terrible bitter end Tell me God Do you blink? When there is a flash And bodies strewn From a bus Or a home Or place of worship? Or do you simply gather The loose pieces of the lost souls And put them back together With a pat on head Send them back To once more try? I’ve wondered of late If even you have not tired Of the game Blow them up Send them back Again |

Hi again, I believe the shock of these happenings through us into an unrealistic shock and anger, and rightfully so...but my dear friend, God is not the culprit here, man is...Man and his quest for power, be it money, status or both. God is there watching yes indeed, but...he is not to blame for all that is happening. Until man realizes how much he effects the lives of others and the importance and value of all things, the inter connection, and is able to go beyond his selfish desires....these things will happen, I'm afraid...but then, what do I know, just my thoughts, my dear poet.... You spark so much insight, and desire to share opinions, knowledge and emotions. Great job! Thank you I love your ability to do that  |

Feels that way doesn't it? Sometimes I ask...why do WE always have to be the white knight? Why do WE always get looked to so save the world? I thinks its about time to save ourselves and let the rest of the world look to itself. Great write |

Sunshine... no more red, than any strike Lee... read it again.. ( smiling) I do not blame God... for anything. Just wonder if he/she blinks and grows tired of the game as well... My own belief or lack of in God only questions the cycles that are repeated and asks why? Paula... white knight huh? we would disagree on this point I think, but it would be an opinion..yours..and mine that would not see eye to eye on the color of our horse. There is good in some of what we as a nation have done, bad in other parts of our actions, so it would be perspective we argued, not the idea that the situation is deplorable. I think on that we could agree. Sy... save yourself and you begin to save a portion of the world perhaps. But is saving yourself an intangible act of understanding and compassion or an overt act of simply attacking? I have my own opinion, and I am sure you have one too.

Oh I'm so happy to read this, you had me worried...I knew you were more insightful then that...I think so to, that God is so darned tired of the game, and maybe he will soon vocalize that to all of us in someway? In the meantime, anyone for some double choc. cake?????? Your all welcome to some if you'd like? smiles and hugs |

Keth.. intentional on my part. My father was a minister..and I understood at an early age about prayers..and about how they sounded... perhaps one day... I'll actually understand more about them.. lol |

Tell me God Do you blink? Loved this, keeping it... BUMP!!!!!! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

I came back to think again that everything is in His time and His time is not our time what we may think is "forever" is a blink in His eyes... so much went on in His week... and yet, He counts the hairs on our head... I tell you nothing you do not know... but I always appreciate the way man interprets understanding... thank you, yet again. |
