Faith

To some God is an all powerful being, with power and might To others he's a mystical being delusional people pray to at night If there is a God, why do we suffer through pain If there is a God why does peace in the world continue to wane If there is a God, why is there disease famine and stress If there is a God, why did I fail my HIV checkup test Who would put the world through so much pain and deceit A cycle of horror that continues to repeat Why do people continue to steal, cheat, and lie And why do all human beings have to go through anguish and die I understand this struggle happens every single day But maybe your belief would change if you saw it in a different way Now stop thinking about the negatives for just a second please And think about that hot summer day outside, when suddenly came a cool breeze Look at nature and see all the wonderful things that you can find Think about the stellar accomplishments that were performed by mankind Think about how incredible creatures can crawl and lurk And think about the complex human body's ability to work Maybe this is a coincidence, why should you listen to me And believe in something that you can't even see. But maybe if people could see my faith in a different type of light Maybe all the major beliefs in the world may cease to bicker and fight Now I'm not saying to change beliefs, that might be to hard to cope But understand I hold on to a precious belief, and this belief I call hope.
