When The Pain Of Life Overrides The Joy

Rating: 5.0


Ever wondered if god was thinking
To make a move or deemed no need
When closed in the vulture's wing
Smelling a cadaverous human feed.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

As much as we pray and hope, I don't believe God intervenes in our daily lives because he is not aware of what is going on. This is our world, and what happens, happens. It's hard to accept this, but if we believe God is aware of everything and refuses to intervene, we can only feel contempt for him. So I find it preferable to think he just doesn't know. You certainly ask interesting questions, Pradip.
