why?..

i want to know

why?..
why can't we say
what we believe
and not get ridiculed, mocked
or scorned?
why?..
why must there be hate,
anger, violence the flows from the core?
why?..
why does the devil come for me in the night?
his words depict truth but deceive the weakest in the fight.
why?..
did we choose the fruit over walking with Him? 

but i know that i would choose the same. 

why?..

is there pain, hate and violence? 

and the victims of those are 

ashamed and silent. 

why?..

do we choose ease and want? 

over work and convictions. 

why?.. 

do we question the one who knows all 

and we take our lives under what we think 

is our control? 

why?.. 

for we are fallen, deemed unworthy, 

stained and unfaithful. 

but why?..

would a perfect Savior

sacrifice himself for one 

like the prodigal son? 

why?..

we don’t always need the answers, 

for part of faith is needing to trust.
