im angry with the lord
because i dont understand
how a young girl, only 5 years old
can die in a world
that an "all-powerful, all-loving" god controls

im angry with the lord
because i dont understand how a man can do such a thing
to his daughter
the man who should have carried her
through thick and thin
but left her to swallow the guilt
that isnt her fault

im angry with the lord
because i dont understand why
my mom is crying in her bed at night
because my "father" isnt around to help
because shes left to pay the bills on her own
and we struggle to just get by

im angry with the lord
because i dont understand
how there are children starving
and how there are people without homes
when this almighty being controls us

im angry with the lord
because he should be saving us
not condemning us to feel this pain
not turning his back when we pray
not leaving us in sorrow and suffering
which is the way i feel everyday

im angry with the lord
because i dont understand
what i have to do
in order to keep the happy moments rolling
how do i please him enough
to push out those awful moments

im angry with the lord
bc i want answers
why  do bad things keep happening
and the good people keep dying

im angry with the lord
because im sitting here
with tears in my eyes
and suicide on my mind
trying to keep my composure
while i try to read you these rhymes
and i dont understand whats wrong with me
because im angry with the lord.
