O God
what is this thing
that has crept from depths below
that we in wisdom call hate
O God
who is this child
that stands before me
and laughs
to scorn my wicked fate
O God
what is this punishment
for the crime
of which you remain silent
and guilt me of my wrong
O God
What is this emotion
that I fear is sinful
of which you never taught me
of being unable yet yearning, to
belong.
