Child Support

The Father , The Son , and ...

I used to believe

 A good child does what he is told

Then, in an hour of need

 You were not there 

The child was left alone.

  I felt deceived

Like you didn't care

   In my time of need

Father why were you not there?

 This hunger that I can never feed

Reluctantly, I began to see...

 There is no heaven above 

Only a hole

 Only a vacant space

Only a void of your love

 Abandon is the child

I speak to a God that doesn't exist.

 If he did

Oh, how I wish

 Upon stars

But I am lost in the cosmos

 Alone and afraid

With lurking creature in the mist

 I am your child that still exists

In the weight of things,

 To you, is this nothingness?

Father,

 Don't tell me I need to pray harder

I bled this from my wrist

 From all this noise, I now sit in silence

Just another passing fit from the child

 I slowly dragged myself up again

Because if I don't, I will remain on this cold bloody floor

 No one to help me up

Knuckles dragging, head sagging

 Back to my cave

My early grave

 Cursed by a love that can't persist

Until I find the strength to grab hope again and optimistically wish 

 That you will someday acknowledge me. 

by the unknown sith- the child.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I like the direction this went in. I see the fingerprints of God everywhere in balance, form and order; in beauty, truth and strength. The mathematics of grace begin for me at counting my blessings. That small, still voice within the speaks so gently, so calm and sure, is an echo of grander things beyond. "All things bright and beautiful..." This was a good read. F.

[Poet Pittinix]

This is an interesting piece. I must say you should not rely on what mankind teach about God. Observe creation and draw your own conclusions about God.

[The Unknown Sith]

I agree. My stories or poems are not always my personal views. I like to look at things from an opposing side at time and try to argue or explain from there. I found this in a philosophy class I took where we had to defend a position we did not agree with. Thanks for the review.
