Perestroika Act II & Thou Art Indeed Just, Lord

In reading these two pieces, I feel as though both Prior and the speaker share a connection. They both feel as if they are being mistreated, whether it be through God or someone else. My interpretation is that Prior and the speaker of the poem are disappointed by these people. Their disappointment comes from abandonment or being mistreated. Further, I interpreted that the speaker is indirectly describing Prior and Louis. Hopkins speaks these bad people who seem to prosper while the good people seem to suffer. Louis, who has abandoned Prior when he needs him the most, seems as though he is moving on with his life as though nothing is wrong with no hardships. While Prior has done nothing wrong, must not only suffer from dying of AIDS, but deal with the abandonment of someone who he loves more than anyone.
