The world can be a cruel and hurtful place We blame fate, or Satan, or even God All things that amplify                  our own failings as human beings. Fate does not deal in good or bad It can bear no blame at all All fate can do is point out                 our own failings as human beings Satan then must be the source of such But blaming him only furthers his cause All the dark one does is allow us                our own failings as human beings Then God must do these worst of things But that’s not the God I know All God does is love and forgive us                 our own failings as human beings The world can be a cruel and hurtful place We blame fate, or Satan, or even God All things but where the problem lies –                 our own failings as human beings

Human Beings
The world can be a cruel and hurtful place We blame fate, or Satan, or even God All things that amplify                  our own failings as human beings. Fate does not deal in good or bad It can bear no blame at all All fate can do is point out                 our own failings as human beings Satan then must be the source of such But blaming him only furthers his cause All the dark one does is allow us                our own failings as human beings Then God must do these worst of things But that’s not the God I know All God does is love and forgive us                 our own failings as human beings The world can be a cruel and hurtful place We blame fate, or Satan, or even God All things but where the problem lies –                 our own failings as human beings
