On 12th January 2010, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti. Among its many unfortunate victims was the erstwhile Deity (aka God, the Creator, the Almighty etc).
Such a dreadful natural disaster demonstrated beyond doubt that the supposedly Supreme Being was not both All-Powerful & All-Merciful or it simply would not have happened.
When His own blatant inadequacy belatedly dawned on Him, with divine indifference, He promptly disappeared in a puff of logic.
A CATHOLIC COUNTRYIN THE CARIBBEAN
those poor Haitians were out of luck
God went AWOL when the earthquake struck
there’s precious little consolation
amid such dreadful devastation
all is wreckage ruins rubble
tears & heart-break in this time of trouble
trauma mourning grief distress
mere mortals must clear up the mess
relying on religion less
true believers in despair
understandably resort to prayer
but what they need instead of kneeling
is water food & help & healing
not the Sistine Chapel Ceiling
surely what the faithful pray for
isn’t sacramental wine & wafer
there’s lots of blood & broken bodies
makes you wonder where God is
We go to Mass in the Mega-Mall...
