While I do not know who or what God is, I am pretty certain that if there is a God they would be lamenting much of what they see in their creation; at least the human part. Here is what I imagine the Lord’s lament might be like:
O people who claim the Lord as your God,
why have you forsaken me?
why have you built walls
instead of tables?
why have you counted the chairs
at your tables of plenty?
why have you remained on the sidelines
while others are dancing?
why have your insisted on ripping out the seams
while others are piecing a living quilt?
why do you only mutter excuses
to those who seek solutions?
why have you closed your doors
to the stranger?
why have you quit seeking
to settle for hollow platitudes?
why do you reject
the sacrifice I offered?
why have you caged
the doves of peace?
You have become like chaff
in the wind
like dust on the sandal
in need of rain.
