Oh God of all the suffering and pain, <br /> Are you envious to have given us the freedom of choice <br /> And the feelings of relief? <br /> The bounty of treasure in life, in living and learning? <br /> Do you understand our yearning, when we deal ourselves <br /> A hand that destroys all emotional feeling? <br /> Do you understand that we are but earthlings? <br /> How great your intelligence to allow us to play our <br /> Games, and to kill in our wars. <br /> Only one who knows the rewards, could allow such <br /> Pain and killing. <br /> Give us the sight oh God to see what we are doing! <br /> Is it the struggle that gives us meaning? <br /> Are we able to prove that we deserve your heaven?<br /><br />Carl Reiner Schultz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-we-understand/
