Desperately seeking God

entry picture

Is God an old white man or a black girl

Or just a point of white light spinning round

Does God reside up there, or in this world

All-powerful, but nowhere to be found

Which to choose? With evidence this unsound

You're free to believe what your folks believe

To papal edicts millions are bound

From Torah or Koran rules are received

Or maybe you have your own God, who leaves

You free to do your own thing, till the pull

Of gravity and time leaves you earthbound

For evermore. This prospect sorely grieves

Before burial, before black smoke curls

Find a God, please. Look closely all around...

◄ It's okay, he's not listening any more

Hi Antonionioniiiiii

I like this poem. God seems to alter in apperance like languages across the world. I find it all so confusing. It's great when people, regardless of what they believe, don't really mention their faith or other and practice more in being kind to their fellow man. If only x

Hi Antonio, I agree with Cjd, this is your best God poem. If you dont know James Taylor, take the time to listen to his work on youtube, you will remember him, I bet.For me God is no color or shape, but pure energy, and I find Gods words in all the Good books. Slivers of truth are golden! thanks and a good poem!!

Your best 'god' yet, I think! Do you know the James Taylor song 'Look up from your life'? - I think you'd like it.
