Omnipotent – As I See Things

Greetings God omnipotent
Who would have us forever on our knees?
If you gave us the seas and mountains
Then you also gave us flies and fleas.

If you give Africa the water
Which saves a dehydrated mite
You also include the cholera
Which kills that child in the night.

Mankind falls prostrate to your glory
Everyone blinded to your sins
You preside over wars most gory
And allow grotesque nature the wins.

Aren't tsunamis splendid?
Such power on display
A ruinous earthquake in Pakistan
Means the devout clear more bodies away.

It can't be said you only send
Fine rains and blessed sun
When there's genocide and torture
While you simply just look on.

You watched while we mere mortals
Strove for religious accord
When always the cost was people
Wantonly put to the sword.

The ace you hold in your godly hand
Is that we are frail and simply made
And inevitably always turn to you
When we are lonely or afraid.

Don't you think we have had enough?
Of great things heavenly and earthly
Hey - thanks a lot for the show Lord
Now demonstrate your mercy.

We worry far too often
About climate change and such
About family, work, war and cash
We worry far too much.

Is it why we are put here
And is there a special plan
For us to tend the garden
For some coming omnipotent man?

There has to be a purpose
In our daily thrash around
Why we till and turn the same patch
of already seeded ground.

If only we could foster
The sense to turn and play
And fight the over-riding drive
to meet our troubles halfway.
