«God Is Not Real»
Your arguments are many
like «war and hate exist»
so does peace and love
is that also on your list?
You claim God isn’t real
that «nothing» is my guide
confidently stating «if he
was real he wouldn’t hide»
If there is only «nothing»
how embarrassing for me
who blindly put my faith
in a God I cannot see
All those hours spent
with the «nothing» in the air
building inner strength
by thinking God was there
What a waste of time
all those prayers – all that hope
if only I knew «nothing»
I could rather moan and mope
Instead I’ve felt the power
of «God» inside my heart
while drawing faithful lines
in my poetry and art
You think I’m rather silly
perhaps delusional and dumb
I pity you for this
I see your soul - and it is numb
