Doubts

Part of his mind quarreled with God.
He told Him: you play hide and seek with our little lives.
He knew it was Satan who wounded his silence,
But he couldn't heal it.
One day he said: I understood;
Satan is the pain of God
I know how pain can loot the feelings.
The war between me and Him has ended.
