'You must believe my son, <br />you must let faith within you dwell, <br />because if you don't <br />you will doom your soul to everlasting Hell.' <br />Such were the words drummed into me <br />when I was eight or nine, <br />now here I am at fifty eight, <br />still waiting for a sign, <br />some proof, a flash, a voice from god, <br />or something else divine. <br /> <br />Instead I have witnessed many other things, <br />solely from Earthly sources, <br />that tell me no compassionate god <br />could exude such malevolent forces, <br />surely a god that is good could never sit, <br />and watch so many die, <br />without sending angelic intervention, <br />a UN force from the sky! <br /> <br />Yet this has never happened <br />in the history of mankind, <br />through many thousands of years, <br />and many billions of tears, <br />the gods have always been deaf and blind!<br /><br />Tom Higgins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blind-faith-8/
