Disarray

I was sitting in class today just thinking of the bombings in Boston Yesterday and this is my thoughts and response to that event among the other tragedies that we as a nation and on a grander scale we as a world  have faced  

Sometimes among life’s storm-tossed ways

We are tempted to ask

“Where is God?”

When the innocents are carried away in

Brutality and fear

And not upon snowy beds of white.

“Where is God?”

Why must our world be

Ruled in fear and malice?

“God where are you?”

When Evil reigns and Good

Is plundered and battered

“God where are you?”

Softly the answer whispers back

“I am here, even in this nation that

I am called to bless and those

Blessings are trampled upon.

Even here were my name is mocked, my principles are

Hated and my people “intolerant”

Yes even here am I in this nation of

Red, white, and blue.”

As the world arrays itself in disarray,

You can almost hear the silent tears

Of a God of free choice who mourns

The decisions of his children.
