God Punishes Us All With My Life

by RainbowSlider   Feb 28, 2009


God, why wouldn't they let me die?
They couldn't see that I had pride.
Didn't I have a good enough alibi?
I thought I had successfully lied.

God, wasn't I even worth saving?
They were terribly cruel to me.
Why did they take all my misbehaving?
It was my right to want to be free.

God, why did you let them do it?
I was so close to being with you.
Couldn't you see me throwing a fit?
I would have been prettier blue.

God, wasn't I good enough dead?
I wasn't that good at being living.
Didn't I hurt enough friends, instead?
You have been to me so forgiving.

God, why didn't they help the needy?
They wasted their time on my strife.
Why were they so awfully greedy?
God punishes us all with my life.

    I liked this piece. I thought it was very sincere and human. I think this feeling comes from the use of 'God' at the beginning of each stanza. The one thing I though could’ve been better was the last line. Instead of it reading ‘God punishes us all with my life.' I think it would be better if it continued from the previous line, reading 'As to punishes us all with my life.', but it’s nothing terribly important, I just think it sounds better. I liked your structuring, and your rhymes. They were very complimentary. Good job.
