If I believed in a Satan,
it would make it easier
for me to understand
why there is so much
evil and horror upon
this planet.
Then I could reconcile
why children are raped
and murdered and
sold or kidnapped into
child prostitution
why psychopaths and
serial killers seem to
inhabit the planet with
increasing numbers
why serial killers seem
to kill numberless
victims with impunity.
But since I don’t believe
in a horn-headed Satan,
I cannot fathom why a
supposedly loving God
allows all this evil and
horror to happen.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
