2. Oh God Why Me? Comments

A great rendition set aside for deep reflective thought

A harrowing poem, well written

A good question has been raised in this poem that has bifurcated its essence in contexts of complaint to the God and the harsh realities of life mostly considered as a catastrophe.. What we face is the result of what we do..so still in each situation, keeping your pragmatism alive is the best option mankind has.........

It is a nice composition of emotion towards God.

Oh God, Why Me? Its a question for series of unending answers. Only eternity behold the mystery of this question. Good one buddy. I like this very very much.

Nobody knows why wrong things happen to us. I believe there is a reason behind every creation that's why it happens but I specially pray to God for my people who are fighting for thier lives everyday. May God give them strength to bear! Amen

reality of the world shown in yr poem.it is a piece of good literature.

why? ? , this life pal, GOD also know all

Why o Why indeed.... One is left wondering! But with the indomitable faith in humankind and the powers that be, some measure of solace can be had, in trying to understand and accept. That is what our scriptures tell us too, isn't it? But then again, having gone through tragedy, it takes a long while for the faith to restore, and any kind of rational thinking to prevail... A beautifully expressed, universal theme, Abha! I loved the closing stanza, immensely!

This poem is so true and not the other side of truth but truth itself. I would add something here if you dont mind, A top olympic gold medallist during a blood transfusion acquired AIDS.. and on his death bed a friend saw him smiling and asked.. O God it could have been anybody else.. You...y only you. The athlete calmy said back: There were lacs of contenders for the olympics who could not make it and God choose me in those lacs to win d olympic gold..and I rejoiced and had the share of my happiness and almost forgot God. Today when God has offered me the chance to save a life by giving mine..... why should I not? If not me any one from a child to a older person would have died of this disease.. i am lucky God has choosen me.. Tragedies and pain are our own creation and nature has to balance the act to save mankind....% Lovely poetry thought you have shared.......

Great poem! Your poem addresses a theme that is universal. The purpose of suffering is indeed a troubling philosophical question. Why do some people suffer while others do not? Why must there be any suffering at all? And yet, the sweet would not seem as sweet without something bitter to compare it too. Also, perhaps the suffering of others is meant to make the the rest of us compassionate and caring, the hands of God in the world.

Fate works in so many varied ways...I just wrote to you to recommend 'My Mother Died of Cancer' which is the same theme as yours above which you state so eloquently...I look forward to reading more...nicely done...Coach

'Adversity nurses the virtue of man'...this is a unique concept you've delved into here... maybe its because in sorrow, we humans tend to be selfish and think our pain to be the only pain and our misery the only injustice...I guess its part of our emotional needs...well written poem...top marks..

Abha, we always ask why me when tragedy robs of of someone close or nature disfigures someone we love. It is a question I fear will always be asked for as long as mankind exists. This is a fabulous poem. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David

You have a fabulous last line to this poem. The question 'Why' is always asked. It shall continue to be asked until wisdom pervades the heart of mankind. GW62

You know Abha - never was a truer truth expressed. When a tragedy strikes, we all tend to say 'why me'. We don't realise at that time there are millions of tragic things happening to millions of people every single day of our lives. It is true for everybody. Nobody can go through life without some tragedy striking at some time. A simple truth expressed in a manner which will make another poet feel why didn't I think of it. A very touching and sensitive piece. Take care

Grief and Pain and emotions......beautifully expressed. Perhaps, I can take a cue from your style of writing and expressing things: -) .

that is our contract with nature and we cannot escape it some how, , yes human tragedies are there we live with

life is full of thorn & flower.....

I don't think you have truly lived....if you haven't at one point uttered those words...it is human nature to ask.... Why Me? ....I can really relate to this one...although I have not been through any nature catastrophes....my life has been and is very trying....pulling me in so many directions as if I am on a medieval stretching machine....wonderful write
