It's said God's compassionate,
he is merciful as well,
which begs the question,
why would he create hell.

It's a terrible torture,
for Our Lord to create,
to make people suffer,
is a form of hate.

That's against his teachings,
or so we are taught,
could a God really hurt,
now there is a thought.

We suffer from illness,
from birth to old age,
yet he doesn't help us,
why won't he engage.

Illnesses have been with us,
since time began,
which ruins the debate,
they're the fault of man.

He lets people starve,
still they die of thirst,
this form of cruelty,
is truly the worst.

Genocide and wars,
leave us all crying,
yet God looks from above,
as millions are dying.

Murderers and rapists,
pedophiles too,
he allows them to live,
without any ado.

If his teachings are true,
why not intervene,
they would never be born,
to grow to be mean.

If he lets evil thrive,
then we must ask,
why does he allow it,
we must take him to task.

If we're made to suffer,
it's really quite odd,
when we recover,
we give thanks to God.

If our illness kills us,
we'll say it's God's will,
he walks away blamless,
that's a bitter pill.

Why do we do this,
it's always the same,
God gets the credit,
but never the blame.

God created all life,
so it must be his fault,
yet he still wants our praise,
he wants us to exalt.

Why the hell should we,
our argument's strong,
the good still die young,
he must know that is wrong.

Death should be kept,
for the chosen few,
as should all illnesses,
for the evil they do.

Gods universe is endless,
so why should we die,
for all righteous people,
death should not apply.

No compassionate person,
would allow us such pain,
yet he allows it to happen,
again and again.

Which now begs the question,
therein lies the twist,
it's one we must ask,
'' Does God Really Exist ''
