I marvel at those
able to maintain faith.
A belief that
    everything happens for a reason
         a greater good.
The hope there are answers
of why...
     a 3 month old baby is ***** and killed,
           a ******* can hide behind a collar.
Why a few grow fat with privilege-
      while children scrounge trash cans for food.
Why so many good people
      contemplate death as an alternative to loneliness....
Is it faith?
    A belief in a higher power?
To we who live the nightmare
      suffering -
         day in -
             day out....
Your faith
      Your belief
           Your meaningless words of comfort
is nothing more than
    magical
        thinking.
