My first day talking to the creators would be filled with question about nature whose answers I’ve long awaited…the second day I’d start with nature then begin asking about the humans they created.
Why create a world so beautiful…why go to such extremes…such pains…
then create forces of destruction…like earthquakes, tornadoes…and hurricanes?
In this beautiful world you created…where the trees grow tall and the rivers flow…
why is there so much sadness…so much sorrow…so much woe?
When you saw humans creating their false hierarchy…and sitting certain ones atop it…why oh why creators…did you not try and stop it?
Why would you take so much time creating a universe….so much planning and patience and care…then allow us to abuse her…by polluting her lands, her seas, her air?
If you meant us to live in harmony with the Earth and all her creatures why would you let us choose to hunt them, to capture them for sport…and to imprison them in zoos?
Why once you created humans…would you then allow us to create…a world that’s filled with prejudice, with bigotry and hate?
Why would you create us with a thinking mind…with determination and free will
then watch us go to war with each other and manufacture weapons that can kill?
So many of our own we have mistreated…people of color, women…anyone who’s a little bit different or gay…why would you allow us to treat other human beings this way?
Slavery, concentration camps, taking people’s dignity…their land…
why would you let these things happen…these are things I do not understand.
Of course the answer to these…and questions like them…
must wait until we meet with our creators…our true fathers our true mothers….
perhaps in the meantime…
while we wait…
these are questions…
we should be asking one another?
