God and Me

by Devavratan Kaundinya

He has always been elusive to me
But they say he lives in ordinary souls
Even in mundane mortals like me
Is that true? I don’t know

You don’t know how to satisfy him
Because the good always suffer
While the wicked invariably flourish
They say it is your Fate

Fate makes you feel happy
Sometimes through your success
But, instantly he brings you
Suffering without a reason

I can’t reason out why such
Omnipresent and omnipotent
Are so quirky and cruel
Without giving reason or logic

For knowing the logic
You are not supposed to question
His existence since he
Likes surrender and not suspicion

Stranger are his ways
Of Justice on many occasions
Still stranger are his ways of
Justifying his injustice

Yet everyone goes to Him
For pelf, peace and favor
Sorry, that shows not his power
But how helpless we are

Very beautifully expressed! We may blame the almighty for things going wrong but the reality has very rightly been portrayed in last two lines.
