Job vs. God
Even if I were innocent,
God would prove me wrong.
I am not guilty,
but I no longer care
what happens to me.
What difference does it make?
God destroys the innocent
along with the guilty.
When a good person dies
a sudden death,
God sits back and laughs.
And who else but God
blindfolds the judges,
then lets the wicked
take over the earth?
