And the faithful of God suffer?
Why are some struck with diseases?
Why are some casualties of horror?
Why do the ungodly prosper?
And the faithful dwell in poverty?
Why do some struggle for food?
Why do some reel in debt?
Why does the harlot brazenly enrapture?
And the virgin coldly defiled?
Why is she molested?
Why is she the victim of terror?
Why does the maiden abort a pregnancy?
And the married woman remains barren?
Why isn’t she a joyful mother?
Why isn’t suckling her own?
Why does death skip the careless father?
And claim a dedicated one?
Why are his children orphaned?
Why are his children wounded?
Why does the whoremonger keep a wife?
And the faithful husband betrayed?
Why is his trust trampled?
Why is he the victim of adultery?
Why does a wayward wife stay in her home?
And the faithful one kicked out?
Why is her commitment desecrated?
Why is she the victim of divorce?
Why do servants ride on horseback like princes?
And the princes walk on foot like servants?
Why are the princes laboring?
Why are they without understanding?
Why do the righteous envy the wicked?
And fret because of evil doers?
Why are the proud called happy?
Why are the tempters delivered?
Why do some righteous think it’s unfair?
And that theirs is the short end of the stick?
Why is their perspective different from God’s?
Why is their perception void of wisdom?
Why would Jesus be crucified?
And be punished like a criminal?
Why would He come on earth at all?
Why would He die for mankind?
Why has the upright not heard?
And has he not known?
Why won’t sinners be destroyed?
Why won’t there be an end for the wicked?
Why did He save you earlier than they?
And they still left wallowing in sin?
Why won’t you be His hands and feet?
Why won’t you deliver good tidings?
