O faith, why have you been
So
cruel to me?
In
a manner callous,
You
unleash pain,
Excruciating
pain on me
Like
hell on its victims.
My
body breaks down,
My
soul sick and saddened,
My
spirit, a bird in a cage.
Your
blood is cold on me
And
my faith though greater
Than
a mustard seed, you
Would
not allow to move
Mountains.
You
deprived me of the breast
That
I sucked in infancy in
Exchange
for the sour milk
Of
a strange and fierce breast
That
now makes my body itch.
As
if I were a cow, you milked
The
salt of my life,
You
confused me,
You
made me lonesome,
Amidst
frustration, you angered me,
In
the throes of my despair,
You
watched me helplessly,
You
even mocked me and
Hot
tears ran down my check.
But
why did you have to be
So
cruel to me, why have you
Handled
me with such iron hand.
I
ask you now, won't you let my
Faith
move mountains.
