An Imperfect Life

Proving the Existence of God

 

The greatest proof, O God, that You exist

is the monstrous agony of ruined lives

injustice unabated which deprives

the innocent, whom death alone has kissed!

Such is the need, at least for recompense

(speak not of joy or peace or happiness !)

so crushed the hearts, so great is the duress,

so widespread is the grief beyond all sense -

the curtain rises unforseen again,

a second better ending must occur;

rewards of gold and frankincense and myrrh

with balm of love, and praise to wash the stain.

A second life alone can vindicate the Lamb

which forces faith to know, proclaim, the great I AM.
