They say whatever happens
Is a part of gods plan
Churches burning
People hurting
Wars in foreign lands

War, starvation
Death by plague
Don’t tell me he works
In mysterious ways

How can you not question
If things are destined
Is it just a way to deal?
With the pain,
So when you lose,
You gain
It’s not like we choose
To feel disdain
Just turn on the news
The whole worlds gone insane

If god controlled us
I would imagine
A world free of famine,
Racism, sexism
Stagnant we wait
Violence, unsilenced
Consumed by our hate

This divide
Society built
We can’t blame it on one
We all share the guilt

In a world so ugly
I refuse to believe
That the man above me
Should take responsibility.

Maybe we should return
To the idea of chivalry,
Maybe then we’d learn
To live in unity.
Maybe then we would concern
Ourselves with poverty
Maybe then we would earn
Our stripes in humanity.


Lean on the shoulder
Of those you hold close
For when it’s all over
They will matter the most

If you must look up
To ask for help
Hold up a mirror
And ask yourself

He gives us time
It’s up to us to decide
We choose our path
He plays our guide.

I sOOOOO agree with this. I hate to hear
people blame bad things on God. He is not
the author of confusion and all
good and perfect gifts come from Him>/i>
Very good writing.
Hugs,
Ethel
