God
Created in ‘His’ Image:
Humans are the ‘God’ You Know
Sharing much with the Being called ‘God’
Creating so much, good and bad
Using men to describe our messages
Intelligence, used to create, destroy, to learn
From our mistakes
Authority to dictate over those we deem inferior
Guiding those we believe in need
Altering lives, testing those we trust
Among the good, there is always evil
Contradiction plays its part
Our creation being only mythology
Yet all other myths are irrelevant
Making laws, yet breaking them
Killing killers for killing
Anti-adultery, yet spawning children out of wedlock
Redemption is possible, we say, as we
Confine those we deem criminals
Holding them captive in places of torture
To pay for their sins
Love thy enemy, but send your children to slaughter
Those who dare rebel
Destroy whole civilizations in one swarm
Because they have angered you
‘Aid the needy’ yet ignoring their pleas
Condemning suicide, yet sacrificing our children
For an incredible existence
That will never endure.
