God?

by ASPHYXIATED   Sep 14, 2005


Imagine a life without God,
A life without belief,
Heaven and hell weren't there,
Would it be a relief?

Think back to our ancestors,
Those who payed to be pope,
And the family's of the dead,
Who payed the church for hope.

That was in the roman times,
But think about today,
Look at all the terrorists,
Listen to what they say!

They bomb because of religion,
They have their beliefs in mind,
Would it happen if God wasn't here?
Thats an answer we'll never find.

Beliefs keep people sane,
And help many keep faith,
Imagine a life with out God,
It cancels out one more reason of war and hate!

    The poem seems to reflect a common feeling that God was created by man rather than man was created by God. Sadly from the history of religion it is not hard to see why many cannot distinguish between God and religion It seems that some religions are a belief system that crucifies God your poem has many paradoxes that are thought provoking and does not prmote hate so I WILL GIVE IT A 5

    I like the poem, the point of view I find really unique.

    Normally, I rate to what I can relate to. In this case, I really cannot. I used to believe in God, but I have drawn myself further away from that credence. Nothing against your poetry, it is just the thing I base my opinion on was not really there. And you did ask for my views...

    Overall, good work, I like to see opinionated poems every now and then ^^
