Mankind is a creation of God,
God is not created by man,
Man dies, God does not.
Any creation has to die one day.
This universe exists, so also God.
Universe takes different forms in manifestation
Of a supreme entity, the name of which is God.
So it is ridiculous to separate God from the creation.
Anything born will perish,
But with respect to what,
That is the supreme power which cannot be annihilated.
Only One cannot be destroyed,
That has never born and is unchangeable.
That unchangeable, with respect to which
All other matter or lives perish is God.

Firstly, brilliant topic,
It lacked, I feel, emotion, perhaps if you revise this piece one day think about how all this information about our God makes you feel.. afterall what is poetry without the feeling?
Its a good piece, I do like the first 2 lines, bold, and clearly makes your point. I feel like you went a little too analytical, but thats just my opinion, feel free to tell me I'm insane.
I like it, but I guess I was expecting more heartfelt, raw emotion in this poem. Keep going.
Good luck in my contest, and God bless. -
Nature of God
Unchangeable, all knowing, without end, omniscient, these attributes scratch the surface of the 'infinite nature' of God. You relate God according to the understanding of our limitations, that narrows your realization to your own understanding. But that is what I asked for. Thank you for your thought provoking piece.

I like your title for this piece, and I think it sums up your ideas well, as does the whole poem. A thought provoking piece and well written, thank you for entering.

thank you for your enlightening response to the prompt ... I actually understood the prompt as : "the concept of god is a product of human weakness" ... but since the original prompt can lead to misinterpretation, your answer is just perfect ... taking it literally and responding accordingly ...
a very enriching contribution to purush's contest ...
