God

by OliviaL

I guess there must be a god Or something like him. Because you are alive And thats awesome But two other men are dead So I gotta ask God. If you exist for real Why are those who do good The ones injured While the one who inflicts Stands tall.

Notes

My friend and two others were stabbed yesterday. They were protecting two muslim women from a man hurling slurs and threats. My heart goes out to the families of the two men that passed and I am thankful to say my friend will survive. He is in the hospital and will pull through. The attacker has been identified and taken into custody. I believe, if there is not a god, there is at least someone or something out there looking after us.
