God’s Blessings?

To those who insist
God blesses them with their good things
I’d like to propose this:

Leave all your good things behind
re-locate to some Third World country
where poverty, disease and famine
are the order of the day:
will the same good things keep coming?

To any thinking person, it’s quite clear
only a very sick “god”
would condemn millions to daily starvation
while filling the trough of the fat cats.

Fortuitous circumstances,
protection by powerful military machines,
not God
determine who gets and who loses;
so it has always been
and so it will continue to be
until we realize our personal responsibility
in all the horror and mayhem done on planet Earth.

Windwalker you sound like a zealot... but then poverty is a subject we should be zealous in fighting against. Good job

there is no reason
for hunger on this planet
when storehouses stand full
of food that will go to waste
and some people
eat enough for six
every day

well done!

Americans are some of the lucky ones that is a fact and in alot of ways & through many different channels blessings come....just who do we have to thank for our blessings? Our forefathers for winning the war? Our parents for being born where we aren't famished? Or God for blessing America...? I don't know just some thoughts. Made me think thanx!! Julie
