First Line: Is it not possible that our million of years
Last Line: "but perhaps this is the wrong approach?"
Subject(s): Pain; Suffering; Misery
Is it not possible that our million of years
Are as a bad morning
In the workshop of God?
That day on which the materials failed Him?
And all of our agony
But His hand drawn painfully across His brow,
Our blood and sweat of aeons
His question,
"But perhaps this is the wrong approach?"
