Why We Need A God

Hospitals full of cancer patients,
In too much pain to scream or cry
Suicides walk long corridors of alone;
Paranoiacs, friendless and stupefied
Loveless children cry themselves to sleep;
Unwanted babies, left on doorsteps to freeze
Or get eaten by unloved dogs,
Chained up, in empty vacant lots
Of somebody's mind, that forgot how to love;
That never learned how to give and take
Unforgiving cruelty, that never forgets;
Insane jealousy, that maims the spirit:
Apparently it's all or nothing down here;
Either you got the memo or you missed it.
And the hour's always midnight
So try not to sleepwalk,
Because if you could see all the suffering in this world,
You wouldn't want to live
You wouldn't want to live
That's why we need a god-
Even if he is inspiringly impotent.
