Did YOU?

Did YOU marvel when you made me?
Did in seven days second thoughts cross in THEE?

Conjure did YOU the blessed flaring in red?
Or a Forbidden land where freedom has not bred?

Did YOU see confluence of faith in the disorder?
Did YOU perceive religion form from the heavenly fodder?

Did YOU think of struggle in creatures of the stripe?
Or soil tarnished with blood and sufferings with no gripe?

Did YOU foresee hunger making a few prosperous?
Or power that breeds greed and that fosters melancholy copious?

I wonder what would have been had YOU seen?
I wonder would I have been?

REPLY from ME

Marvel I, at my creation,
That wonders at every action.

Freedom was for you, yourself, to conceive
For whatever is easily got, is not well perceived.

Is it not faith that prompts you to question me?
Do you not expect some answer from me?

I foresaw many problems, like parents always do.
I also foresaw potential in each one of you.

I saw and still created you.
For the joys far outweigh the terror, I believe, I do.

:)
Respond to this, do.

Faith prompts me to question YOU free,
Faith also prompts me to fight over THEE!

Problems YOU did foresee like all good parents do,
But have I been the good child like YOU wanted me to?

Freedom YOU gave me to conceive.
Did YOU imagine what you now perceive?

Blessed am I for the chance showered?
But is there a chance of me not having rightly flowered?

YOU are the hope that keeps my faith growing!
But do YOU see also the trouble that also keeps brewing?

History suggests YOU shall be the faith where hope has given up,
Joys I need to bring THEE, how is –on what I have almost given up!

You say that faith guides you.
How then can I not be proud of you?

Is not your questioning a rebellion
Against all the fighting that for religion?

Child, you have yet to grow
To realize fully all that I foretold.

Freedom you have to change what you wish
I trust you to create a world of bliss.

I know I have done my part
I know that you cannot erase all that I impart.

I know you will make mistakes
But you will learn and not my creation forsake.

You have studied history, then you know
The circle needs to rotate for life to flow.

I am always there, you need not fear
These troubles will soon disappear.

:)

I felt the same
When I was YOU

Hungry Lion Kills his own food
Hungry Jackal waits for Lion to Kill

Freedom I had to choose Lion or Jackal
Freedom YOU have to choose who you want to be

Struggle, Hunger, Suffering were Mine and now YOUR perceptions

I saw it all , BUT...

with Lion Faith I Fast struggled to become THEE AND
With Jackal faith I Slow struggled to become THEE

Now I am again YOU
in illusion that we are different and TWO

Lion I am, Faith I have, Struggle and Evolve i will again to become THEE

Then realize I will, I and YOU were not Two, Theres only YOU (I)
For nothing actually would have been, If there were no YOU(I)

Don't be Jackal Wasting Time questioning YOU and I
Be Lion, find your food, kill your hunger ... for theres no I to help you, its only YOU.

The story of Lion and Jackal makes ponder,
What will a world without Jackals be I wonder!

In land of Forbidden the Lions encumber the Jackals,
Shriek they do and embroil in the plunder amongst the catcalls.

YOU say troubles will soon disappear,
A ray of hope in YOUR divinity does appear.

Lions or Jackals – Peace is what I want to descry,
A child who does not make YOU in despair cry.

The ray hope YOU give I cling on to,
Tenacity YOU gave me through faith is what I look up to.
