As I See It by Christine Stromberg - HTML preview

Judgement

No need to look for reasons

or ask the question “why?”

Shit happens, as the saying goes,

to such as you or I.

Perhaps we do deserve it,

as some are wont to cry,

that doesn’t make it punishment,

a judgement from on high.

Forget about a vengeful god,

the great all seeing eye,

that heavenly policeman

or disembodied spy.

Even if, as some believe,

there’s judgement by and by

is that any reason we should

pay before we die?

Life is complicated,

it doesn’t do to pry;

we’ll never understand it

so should we even try?
