Cry in Wilderness- A poem

I am in a mood for some vichiism & a related poem. This is sadly a lay back to my earlier "whining past", but I like IT. 

First the set of vichiism. 

1. If & when you find a way, Gods seem happy putting hurdles on the path.

2. When you pray for removing hurdles in all your endeavors, does it not imply that you are anticipating them? 

3. And when you start looking "in", he will force you to look "out" with privations, galore.

The above leads me to the poem: CRY IN WlLDERNESS

I see today as an auspicious day to start,
Yet am not sure I will succeed in the end.   

Forced on one not too auspicious to start, 
Very clearly I could not succeed in the end.  

Honestly have no clue whatsoever to decide,
good or bad, as in eternal bondage I reside.     

You Lord, seem to  enjoy this banter with me,
Leaving me clueless & shameless to just "be". 

Taking me abode You will not,
Looking "in" I simply cannot.

Lord, are You then so heartless & brainless, 
that You will ever keep me in this wilderness? 

What do I have to do to make YOU change, 
To try & get myself in your radar's range.

Which will then guide me safely in there,
From where one needs to look no where  

Or You prefer to be in Your bliss abandoning me,
Avoid change anything from Your original scheme. 

How can You be then called Karuna Karan,
when all I can perceive is a Raakshasan? 

It's Kalyug dear, You are inclined to say,
It's absolutely no comfort for me to assay. 

You are Omniscient, Omnipresent, aren't You?
What then is your problem seeing all this thru?

Choose any time to just change script, 
but doing nothing lest You may not exist?  

With skeptics, agnosts, rationalists galore,
Do You really believe You matter any more? 

Or knowing it all, You have taken a holiday,
abandoning all those devoted to You mid way,

Assured in the belief that they are Yours anyway,
let the others drown in their illusions all the way. 
    
I am in no position to appreciate Your passive mien,
All I can understand is Your visibly active regimen.

In which the non-devout & skeptics are  punished,
believers rescued from despair, their faith restored.

Otherwise,is there any alternative but to revolt,
take to streets and devote myself as a terrorist?

Oh God are you hearing my cry of angst,
or is this also part of Your original script?
