Goodness Sake
It's said that no one enters accept via the Son
But what about the ones who die via the gun
The ones whose Suns were prematurely set
A limited time to shine is what they get
Will GOD forgive and forget their iniquities?
Especially if they spent time on their knees
Begging Lord please save me from my pain
Was his answer allowing them to be slain?
Can you explain why suicide's a ride straight to Hell?
If he's omnipotent, wouldn't he be able to tell?
Wouldn't it be revealed that they feel lost and hopeless?
Does he administer duress as a form of stress test?
When our best just isn't enough to persevere
Will he grab the wheel when asked to steer?
What was once clear has now become opaque
Guess we have to be good for goodness sake
But what about the ones who die via the gun

It’s too much to unpack here even if I could. Powerful fundamental questions that deserve more then my humble perspective.

When what we've believed our whole lives proves untrue, how do we continue?
Heavy, Sir Damon
Markarrow is right
Answers I cannot provide
But a dilemma I needed to face

Like the questions piece you wrote sometime ago, this also raises questions that may go unanswered but also serve as a moral compass. Life isn't fair, because you hear of many getting with atrocities while others who follow the rules die at the hands of unfairness.
It's thought provoking write appealing to our inner sense of morality, even when the shit is being thrown, will we still get our hands dirty?
Well done Damon.
