A letter of complaint

spilleronsheet

A letter of complaint 

was addressed to God 

Addressed to heavens 

in a sealed envelope 

a letter of complaint 

waiting to be delivered 

the petitioner wrote 

about the complaints to the judge 

where the judge was accused 

complained why was he always screwed 

a Complaint of loosing a job 

a complaint of loosing the loved ones 

a complaint of betrayal of trust 

a complaint of being bankrupt 

a complaint of mistrust 

a complaint of suffering the pains 

that almighty had entrust 

a complaint of refusal by his love 

a complaint of having no food 

a complaint of being in poor health 

a complaint of diagnosed of a rare disease 

All he asked was a simple life 

all he wanted his lover beside

all he wanted was a cosy home 

all he wanted was a bit of food

alas why is he screwed 

since childhood 

thrown on roads 

ending up in orphanage too 

to all those worries 

to all those remorse 

he walked on the deserted road

meeting his eyes 

he saw a hospital entrance beside 

a child in dismay looked at the open door inside 

he paused to have a conversation with the child 

the child was orphaned 

The rare disease plagued by world 

took the child’s world 

yet the child wasn’t in cry 

he just replied 

I wish we could come sooner here 

I wish I could see my angels inside

the man shook inside 

he burnt his letter of complaint 

he asked for forgiveness inside 

you gave me pain 

I understand 

but I am thankful 

you gave me the hope to fight 

I could stand while loosing my world 

I will find a new job 

I will find home 

I will work hard 

I will look for a sweet lover outside

these words he shouted at sky

  • Comment from author about the poem: Today almost felt that nothing I could write…I might loose my streak this time…suddenly tumbled upon an article of a child who lost his parents to deadly COVID…many of us have witnessed the pain of this disease..might have lost some opportunities too..we might have complained too..with whatever we have left, we must thank God to give us the courage to fight

    I love your inspiration and personal quote for your poem. It is true we forget about what we do have rather than remember what we don't. Have a great day everyone and keep posting Spilleronsheet
