Cain killing his brother Abel
Humans killing other humans
What happened to this world?
Noah building his ark
And saving his family
Humans saving other humans
Jesus dying for us all
For love
Humans loving other humans
Humans and this world
Humans killing
Humans saving
Humans loving
Humans being humans
Why do we fight with each other?
Why do we slaughter our brothers and sisters?
Why do we love?
Why do we do what we want?
And not what we need
Because we are human
There are so many questions to ask
So many things to be done
But only so many questions may be answered
And only a few things must be done
By humans
We kill
Save
And love
If humans are the root of all evil
How big is the tree?
What sprouts from it?
Does love sprout?
There’s a little evil in all of us
But there’s love as well
More for some
And less for others
Why is it so difficult to understand?
What is good?
And what is evil?
How can we be sure?
What right really is
God knows
Hopefully a little of his wisdom will rain down on this world
Hopefully a little bit of righteousness will breeze through my soul
Hopefully I can be the human God wanted me to be
The same can be said for others
Others who seek
Others who shall receive
Humans and this world…
