-Where is Your God-
by
Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Where is your God
Why has he gone
How could he leave you
So very much alone.

In a world full of wolves
He should have known
And if he did, would it
Have made any difference.

Protecting you long before
You learned to protect yourself
Should have been
The highest of his priorities.

Why it was not
Concerns you less and less
I admire your blind devotion
Your unwillingness to relent.

Your faith is quite strong
Your will is unbreakable
You are sure that when life ends
You will know what comes next.

What you will do with such knowledge
And how what you seek will become yours
Will mean nothing to those of us
Living on the other side of the fence.

Where is your God
Such a being cannot be doomed
By the actions of his ways
But for you, in truth
I fear that is not the case.

You will pay if you have not lived
Within the confines of his grace
You will suffer for your mistakes
Little will change between life and death.

Some have said that being dead means nothing
And that being alive is our everything
Such a concept goes against the grain
And the doctrines of your faith.

Where is your God
Simple, such a question seems
Impossible to answer
By any and all means.

Your faith must be blind
Clarity and causality are one and the same
You cannot and should not see what is real
Just as he intended life to be.

Upon a stack of books your dare scream
My God loves me so much
That he set me completely free
Shattering the binds of my needs.

Just as quick you returned to his embrace
You pay homage to his ideals
Lending an ear to his voice
Propagating the lessons of his kind.

Where is you God
Is nothing that you need to know
Because for you such a thing
Is as pointless as the wind.

But to you I must confess
That all things have a point
You, me, the wind, all mean something
Within the confines of our everything.

Everything, such an innocuous word
The sum of all that we know
And all that we certainly don't
And all that we can speculate.

Where is your God
I am sure that you know
And if you don't
I am certain that you act
As if you do…
