Mister

by Sara Schaetzka

My Redeemer,

The Carpenter,

Allah.

Prince of Peace,

Creator of the World;

Caring, compassionate, omnipotent.

My Absolute:

They say that you don't exist and have

nothing to do with the world anymore.

They tell me that you're the reason for pain,

the root of all suffering; who am I to believe?

I've seen hurt, I've felt pain and have suffered many losses.

Show me the truth, let my eyes be opened:

to a world you have not yet shown me.

Mend the pain, free me again,

my life is on the line,

Empty,

Broken,

Suffering,

Torn, crying, bleeding.

You hear this prayer, My Absolute: caring, compassionate,

omnipotent. My Redeemer, the Carpenter, Allah, Prince of Peace,

Creator of the World.
