My Belief

 I feel we are all capable of great things

Love and kindness are free and available

What makes us not believe and not care

A series of unanswered questions is a starting point

How can Christians promote the devil

Seems like the antithesis of right and wrong

When do we bow down to another man

With no much hatred in his eyes

I used to be a spiritual man

Read the bible many times

I was disappointed in what I read 

So much anger and violence

Over the years my views have changed

Once and staunch Christian

Then a staunch Atheist

9-11 and world hunger made me think too much

Where is our God to lend a hand

To teach and instruct how to live a better life

People are still hungry, wars still rage

There has been no human progress since the beginning of time

My views have hardened as the world goes on

I have always tried to see the good in everything

It's so hard to teach our kids

Their phones and Social Media are doing it for us

So I asked myself of this crumbling world

Who can we turn to for a guiding hand

Our Pastors or Politicians would they know

They are too busy making a Buck

I tried to believe in the greater source 

I devoted my thoughts if not my actions

I tried to be the ear, the shoulder the helping hand

Even when I was taking something away

My faith has diminished and made me angry

I tried to live the life of the Golden Rule

It was never equitable from the start

I could never find a livable balance

My compromised faith and diminished life

I have failed to appreciate the gifts I've received

Doesn't seem fair to have so much

While the homeless search for a place to spend the night

So I must ask our God

Where have you been?

So many have everything, others have nothing but misery

I hope someday you can even the score

Today my beliefs are of disbelief

I'm sad and angry with what we have become

I try to believe there is a God

He's either too busy or not powerful enough for the job
