The Daily Grind

Oh surely it is plain to see
The daily grind that is reality:
A world in which
Things break
(and keep breaking)
Or else
Break up
Break down,
Burn down,
Flood,
Fall to pieces
Fall apart,
Go missing,
Go bust
Go wrong
Or blow up in your face.
 
We pray to God
Who subjects innocent animals
(creatures who are not “fallen”)
To earthquakes and volcanoes
Forest fires and floods,
Freezing cold weather,
Boiling hot weather,
Hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones,
Painful diseases.
 
God are you there?
 
God do you even care?
 
“Nothing fails like prayer”.
