Feel Something

by Angel Scroggins

do not be surprised when you start prodding my heart for softness and find stone when you start probing my mind for weakness and find barricades when you start searching my eyes for doubt and find rage do not expect me to show mercy to those who never showed it to me

that aching for more for elsewhere

desperately searching for signs of a god that is not cruel or indifferent you cannot boast that he helped you with your mundane concerns while turning a blind eye to the rapes and murders he cannot both intervene and give us free will

thoughts and prayers
