A Rally Against God

Hello Dear Ilites! Since my river of poetry has temporarily gone dry, I want to post a poem written by my friend. This is a first attempt at poetry by my friend. Hope you all enjoy reading this! I have also been writing a continuation of the poem m-i-l's diary, which I had quite forgotten about! In the mean time enjoy this!

A RALLY AGAINST GOD

Once there was a rally against God.
He was unjust, they said and I did nod.

Off we went in a procession long
To tell the world that God was wrong

At the end we all reached the town hall
When the night was about to fall

One by one they all climbed the stage
To speak against God, to vent their rage.

One said, “Not even once did He give
What I wanted in order to live.

There was no house grand
A wife fair or enough land.


Children smart or a car so long
He was always in the wrong.”

Another went up and cried and cried
What did I do, why should I be tried.

My health was never good
For I never had enough food.

For everyone there was always light
But my life was one long night!

So it went on till it was very late
And all had spoken about their fate.

Then they called me on the stage
And said you talk about your unpaid wage!

“Forgive me” I told them all
“I do not belong to you at all”

“But when we cried that God was unjust
You joined us; you walked with us and did your best!

“Yes, I did” I did sob
“What happened?” cried the mob.

‘God is unjust’ you said in verse
But in my case it was the reverse

He gave me love; He gave me life
He made me a man and gave me a wife;

He gave me the sun; He gave me the moon
And this whole earth! What a boon!

“Then why the hell” they all shouted
“Did you protest?” my sanity, they all doubted.

“He is still unjust”, I said amidst tears;
They came near me; they were all ears.

For I do not deserve the food I eat;
The house I live or the love I get

I do not have the merit to deserve my wife
Nor have I the right to live my life!

He gave me brains and made me wise;
For left to myself, I’d have been otherwise

Was I worthy of His gifts, He never did think.
He gave and gave and in shame I did shrink

There were many who were ready to serve
Yet, he chose me though I did not deserve

In this way say I must
That He is the most unjust

For if He’s only just and fair!
I could not have got even the air!

That was the reason did I say
He was unjust and had my way

He knows what to give and when
Know His love, my dear men!

We have not earned what we have!
We have only what He gave!

What grudge do I have against Him
Except that He loved me to the brim!

A love which I never could earn
A love the depths of which I am yet to learn


To say these things in verse, I tried
But thinking of His love I only cried

God is unjust, I was sure
For He loves us without a cause
And loves us in spite of us
God is love and love is God
He was unjust, they said and I did nod.
