They say you are the living God
Whose name must start with a capital letter
Because you sit in the heavens above
And preside over this global earth.
They say you created everything
The earth, the plants, animals, water etc…
And you have so much mercy, your children lack none
I will ask then,
Why is there so much misery?
Why can’t you see so much suffering?
What is it that you cannot do?
I want to know because it’s going too far
I hear you are the healer among healers,
What am I saying? You created us for whatever there is sakes!
So why will you look on while sickness consumes
Lives of those who know no sin?
Do you really live up there?
Do you possess any such powers?
If you do, then you must be a very wicked father
Who flaunts the pain of his children around
Or you must be that kind of father
Who is happy seeing lives zap out of his children.
How can little things take too long to fix?
And do not tell me it is a test
Who will choose a test over trust?
And if it is, what kind of test lasts so long?
If you really live as I am told
Maybe it is high time you laid down your throne
Come down now and let us vote
And see the number of votes you’ll have.
No autocracy, let’s do democracy
I am tired of my life, I know
Many are tired of their lives, I know
So hide not under the threat of blasphemy
And push my questions down my throat
If you do live, let your action start now.
