Righteous are You,
O LORD that I might contend with You;
yet let me speak with You about Your judgements.
Why does the way of the wicked prosper…” (Jer. 12:1)
Stroling through the streets,
I came across multitudes,
some walking on wooden legs, panting
Others with metal arms, clutching.
Beggars stroll all alleys.
And human faecal paints the wretched walls of the buildings.
The influential drive in SUVs,
Blowing acidic dust to the wretched,
Changing guzzlers like underwears,
As the less fortunate remain in misery.
God in heaven,
Your eyes are planted all over,
Your wisdom is the ultimate,
And your love is unparallel.
Why is it that the ways of weak, feeble
Are not so seen in the midst of pain,
Do you see the pain in their eyes,
The cry of their heart,
The trials of the life…
…while the ways of the rich succeed?
Hear my cry now,
Lift the spirit of the wretched
And spread your justice to all
