His Megaphone

God does not
always speak softly
in lullabies
and whispered answers
to our prayers.

Sometimes His voice thunders
to be heard
over the noise of life
that can deafen us.

Sometimes He must use
a bullhorn to amplify His voice;
while it stings the ears,
it may be the only way
we can hear Him.

Hurt and death
carry the highest decibels
and definitely provoke
a response although painful.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. ~C.S. Lewis
