I have a question for God: A poem 

Posted bymontecyrilPosted inUncategorized

I could be born again 

But I think “not again!” 

“Not after I lived lifetimes in so much pain!” 

Can I be stronger, when it gets longer? 

Can the sublime outlast the sorrow? 

Can aloneness be a self-sustaining desert? 

Can my own perspiration moisten my thirst? 

Sometimes, I think, I need a shoulder, a hand 

Sometimes, I think this immense struggle 

should be left behind one dawn 

when I’ve woken up to see my country go arid 

after the toil; when the dominos start falling 

And I still keep believing 

that God will come calling 

To tell Him that there was no dysfunctionality 

To seek His acknowledgement for a task that was extraordinary 

God knows His handiwork 

He keeps at it, however mysteriously 

Would I, I ask Him, be eligible for redemption 

If I were to leave mine 

by the wayside?
