sea under a pale and dead moon
waves seeking tranquility above
seeing in flat rock the ideal
observing in gray darkness hallowed
deserving in the greatest silence

watch above rockets and mortarfire
raining down on solace beneath
women cry mutilated children scream
it was all God's fault while I
can't but keep silent in holding
God is dead and
we must bear the front enfolding
embracing to her breast mutilated
accusation against hollow rock
anger at self childlike
superstition of elevating us above
the unknowable and worshipping
us blaming God in us

Wow.  I'm about to write a poem about how I'm going to be killed for doing something out of love, and then I remembered God is love (1 John 4:7-8, 1 Corinthians 13...).
Yeah, as far as everything being God's fault.  He typically won't do anything if you people don't turn to Him.  Or He abandons people that reject Him(Romans 1).

Yeah, this poem just struck a chord with me, and I'm totally open for any questions you may have about God, e-mail.  I usually don't really spend alot of time responding to people's poems, so look at what your poem has caused... Congrats.

God bless,
In Christ,
-Craig

To wrestle is to live; to fight is to love.
