RIC S. BASTASA - why? i am just asking.

2014-06-16 6

why do you prey
on the lowly?
why do you
argue with the poor?
why do you
mock them with your
education?
why do you
kill their aspirations?
why do you
not give them the slightest idea
of hope
its flicker, even just a flicker?

what is it that you are telling the Lord
when you go to church everyday?

i am just asking you
whose anger does not know
what subsiding really means.
