And what did you
  expect?
Is all of life
  meaningless?
Or is there
  a purpose for what exists?
Will righteousness ever
  come to pass?
Or is the search for truth
  a hopeless task?
Then
what is so
  meaningful, relevant,
  and important?
And what exactly is
  righteousness?

Yet,
what is more relevant
  than the matter of
  all existence?
What issue is more
  important
than the matter
  of life and death?
What can be more right
  than the existence itself
  of God Most High?
And if it is so
  tragic and wrong
  that the living should die,
then
it must be right
  that the dead should then
  come back to life.
And
if anyone cares
  for what is just,
wouldn’t God
  prove Himself devoted
  to righteousness?

But
how does one prove
  sincerely devoted
  to righteousness?
What would you
  expect?
Would he indulge himself
  in pleasure?
Or would he be
  willing instead to suffer?
Would he indulge himself
  in leisure
and then merely say
  that he’s sincere?
Or would he continue to do
  his good works
even though
  it might hurt?

And how should we expect
  someone to demonstrate
  righteousness?
What kind of deeds
  can we all agree
are noble, good, and
  virtuous?
Should he help himself
  and do as he wishes?
Would he oppress the poor
  and gather his riches?
Or would he help those
  who truly have need
and give of himself
  so the world can believe?
