Poem

Would I be without pain?
And hunger and malice
And carnage of man
And insatiable yearning for purpose
And piercing light of dawn
And desperation and heat
And loneliness
And mortal questions left unanswered
And burning inquisition
And dry mouth
And crucifixion of purity
And heretical penitence;
An unloved questioning existence;
And uncertainty of what earth holds
What is pain if not for a christian god to create it?
