What do you think this poem is about?

A Letter To God

Why should I fear you dear
My beloved
Why do you say
You will send me to hell
If I do not fear you.
I do not care for your hell
Tell I me, why should I?
My home is burning
My country is burning
My parents are dead
My neighbours are dead
Tell me, why should I fear your hell
Me too is dead
I am a poet from Gaza
A poet never dies
Before his country is free.
Oh God, free my people
And my country
I shall accept your hell
For thousand times.

    Sir, I like this direct confrontation with the almighty.....if you do not fear him...why fear his hell.......and with so much suffering around......hell can be there on Earth....it is deep..it is intense..

    your fiance is your consciousness...the one whispering to you, telling your humble hand to write all the things in you...
    I love the first few lines...and the last lines telling about your country...nice poem to share Thanks!

    Why do you choose hell as your eternal prison? You can have Heaven. And you think God has brought your misery upon you? Think for a while, poet, is it not you who shunts the love God has for you? The choice is yours to make. And it seems you have chosen to hide behind self-pitty and hatred. Think. Are poets not beings of thought and feelings? But you continue on a path of blindness. The world has taken your life because you have become part of it. Do not give in to it
