WHY?

Peter Woodgate 

He looked around at life

that stuttered meaningless,

from day today.

 

He watched the news on TV

saw inhumanities

and heard what politicians had to say.

 

He looked at mighty mountains

at wooded valleys

and seas that ebbed and flowed.

 

At natural disasters

unhappiness within the world

and points of light that glowed.

 

He witnessed birth

experienced death

saw arms raised to the sky.

 

He read the mighty word of God

the contradictions raised

and wondered WHY?
