An evocative poem about a human being challenging God, by Kamrun, exclusively for Different Truths.

One day
I can say
Who the hell,
God you are!

I am human
The king of heaven
The eve of hell

Then, who are you?
Can you please explain?

One day
I can say
I am that person
Who praises you,
Who tells you,
You subsist

So, start to believe
I am your priority
Not you, mine.

You could be my faith
My abandoned love
For that I can do
anything
Whatever you want...

So, love me
But never judge me
If you do that
Then may get
an empty box
Where nothing
exist at all...
