The world is in utter turmoil,
Civilization's falling apart;
Brothers are killing their brothers,
Many have no love in their heart.
Lord, may I ask You a question,
Why, sometimes, does life seem so cruel?
This world would be much better off,
If we all lived under Your rule.
Why don't You just come back right now?
Set up Your Kingdom's reign down here;
Prove to doubters that You are real,
Let Your children know that You're near.
I know it's not fair to ask this,
I ask simply because I care;
My faith in You is strong and true ,
And I'll follow You anywhere.

As a recent "enlightened" person I can absolutely understand where you are coming from / I have had my questions for God / Mine was answered / It took many decades before it was / I think He put us here to deal with our own troubles / After saying that I will have to agree again, that it looks very dismal for the future of the world / Satan is winning / For the time being . . .
Honest questions Paul, and although He may not answer these questions right now. He gives enough strength and grace to
sustain you while you are waiting for the answers!
Stay faithful and true Paul, and be encouraged! Keep on writing
and sharing!
ISN'T IT WONDERFUL THAT WE SERVE A GOD THAT WE CAN GO TO AT ANY TIME AND DISCUSS ANYTHING....? PS 142:2'....I POURED OUT MY COMPLAINT BEFORE HIM...' WE MAY NOT GET AN ANSWER(SOME THINGS WILL REMAIN A MYSTERY UNTIL HE GETS READY TO COME), BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE A GOD WHO UNDERSTANDS AND DOESN'T CONDEMN US FOR APPROACHING HIM WITH CONCERNS. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WELL WRITTEN WORK PAUL, AND BLESSINGS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
I'm in a similar mode today ,Pail! This is a fine prayer/poem,and one the Lord knows you mean with love for Him. I feel that we should stay prepared,for the times are closing in....still we will have a lot to go through yet...stay strong in faith and hope,keep writing your wonderful poems!
I often question why the Lord allows bad things to happen, like with wars, terrorism, kids being born damaged or damaged later in life, catastrophic illness, etc. I have a whole lot of questions to Ask Him when I get to Heaven! Sad write; well done, Paul!
