For the children
beneath
the soul of God
countless
decomposing bones
lay buried
by the weight
of time
little boys
&
little girls
dead & damned
their fragile
hearts
had no hope
in this world
of man
while
in heaven
no one hears
them scream

Dear H,
This poem has such a poignancy it breaks the heart. Makes me wonder the point of life and why there’s so much injustice especially towards children. Wonderful spotlight on the subject. H🌷

Cutting words Harry
To ponder the nature of God
Is God good?, is God bad?, is God indifferent? is God like Nietzsche said, “dead”
When buildings fall on the good and bad alike, one must wonder

Yes, theodicy means the vindication of God. It is a philosophical attempt to explain the existence of evil in a God-created, good world. Leibniz's Theodicy was the first modern attempt to do so using his Principle of Sufficient Reason, but there have been other attempts to explain evil.
Many thanks MM, I always love your interpretation.

Heartbreaking! And unforgiveable. And unbelievable. And yet it's happening. Here and now in the 'postenlightenment' era when allegedly 'our science' and 'our technology' have already solved all 'our problems' and made human life so much better than ever (including the killing of children more efficiently and more brutally than ever).
Very well captured.

Your ink always(usually) makes me stop to take in that which can and does make me emotionally wrought; bruised by the realities of truth and then punctuated by your amazing poetic and poignant way... Unlike any other.
Thank you for shining your poem's spotlight, dear Harry.
I hope you and I will can be here on DUP at the same time... soon.
Miss you.
Happy new year to you
