When Haiti shook
And the old colonial
Structures fell
Who was to blame?
When the rains fell on
Madeira
Making rivers of mud
Where once were roads
Who was to blame?
When earthquake and
tsunami
Wreaked their havoc
On Chile’s coast
Who was to blame?
The zealots speak of
God’s wrath,
Divine retribution
Against the wicked of
the world
Smiting the
transgressors
But it’s not the
wicked who suffer
It’s the most humble
and devout
The poor and the needy
Who suffer the most
Why would God do such
a thing?
What would be gained?
It’s not a Godly act
But rather that of a
tyrant
That’s not what my God
would do
My God is a loving God
Not a wrathful being
The secular blame God
For not stopping
natural disasters
They don’t believe in
him
But blame him anyway
Where was God?
What was God doing
when he was needed?
When something
wonderful happens
They praise nature’s
ingenuity
Yet when tragedy
strikes
It’s “where was God?”
God is not to blame
It is not within his
power to prevent disasters
So he does what he can
He comforts and
supports
Eases suffering and
ends pain
But my God is not to
blame
Mother Nature is the
culprit
The planet is angry
with mankind
And unleashes these
acts of spite
To punish us for our
indifference
Mother Nature roars
And defines our
insignificance
When the earth moves
And mountains split
When winds tear up all
before them
And the seas rise up
We are powerless
But we are not alone
When we are at our
most vulnerable
Who do we call upon?
God
Whoever that God might
be
Mine is an
understanding God
A compassionate God
