Why Did God Even Bother
Dear Lord I must ask, were you fully aware,
When you created the heavens and earth,
Placing man and woman in the Garden Of Eden,
Would lead only to suffering from the time of our birth.
Were you aware of the odds that were stacked so high,
That we'd be doomed from the beginning of time,
With wars and famine ravaging the world,
Our leaders unconcerned with mankind.
Like a child to his father I ask many things,
And it's because I simply don't understand,
That how, when you knew what the future would be,
You even bothered in creating man.
Even as I write, you will already know,
The words before they appear on my paper,
You know where I've been, and know where I'll go,
And if I'll arrive now, or much later.
You have provided me with an inquisitive mind,
And so these questions I must continue to ask,
Wouldn't it have been better for all of us,
If you had made Adam and Eve the last?
It's not that I'm laying the blame on you,
Nor do I believe you are the cause of our trouble,
I'm just sitting here thinking if you knew all these things,
Why on earth did you create such a rubble.
