ON EARTH, LIFE’S IMPERFECTION

On earth, life’s imperfection

At its worse

Whoever said that it would be best?

Whatever God allows there’s a reason

Greater than minds can bear

Wider than anywhere

If suffering should come

It won’t fall on plants and trees

Mountains nor bees

But as it pleases

It falls on these-lesser beings

Life’s imperfect, I tell you

It feeds the rich, kills the poor

Turn the motherless into fiend,

God please take control of life!
