If God were a human,
Just for a day,
Would he understand our worries,
Or learn of our ways?
If God were a soldier,
Courageous and true,
Would he fight for our rights,
Just to protect you?
If God is our protector,
Then please tell me why,
Evil seems to triumph,
And all that is good, dies.
If God indeed existed,
Why doesn't he prove his worth,
Has he forgotten the beauty of days of old,
And that he is the creator of this earth.
If someone asked me,
In God do I believe,
I'd say no,
In my opinion he shouldn't have even created Adam or Eve.
God may exist to some,
But to me,
What we chose or do with life,
Is our own destiny.
If I were God for a day,
I'd say let us all be free,
For when it comes down to it,
It's what you make of life, it's what you want to be.

Great write here you are obviously strong on this topic. And your words came together nicely in the form of a great argument.
Although i do not agree with your oppinion, i believe strongly in his presence in my life, this site is about poetry, and you have a very strong write here. Good luck in your contest.

wow
this poem is amazing.....and something i feel myself....and have most my life....you put into words something that makes someone stop and think in my opinion....thanks for the share

Food for thought
I respect your thoughts here, they are similar to mine. I think we each need to believe in something, but should have the freedom to decide what. You have expressed your thoughts very well, and the truth of the matter is that I think you are right. The last two lines are important.
Cheers.

basiclly, this is the first poem on this site i actually read till the end...its different, simple, and yet, considering the subject, rather neutral)))

Wowww..Raven amazing poem you have penned. Though I do believe in God but yet liked your poem. Friend, these are processes and natural forces which should go their own way unperturbed. God intervenes when required that is why a light of righteousness comes when the whole world is shadowed by the gloomy clouds of viciousness. This makes Jesus, Nanak and Krishna born.

I love the fact you would right something so controverseal i think its amazing!

BEAUTIFULLY EXPRESSED!!!
To some this may be the right answer but to me God is trying to help us grow stronger and develope our faith and compassion of heart and mind. How can one learn if one does not experience the bad along with the good.

See the interesting debate that this little competition raises is "Free Will Vs Divine Intervention". You're poem is spot on with the ideas I was looking for.
Something else that caught me about your poem is, oddly, the font. It's very easy on the eye to read.
Good luck. -
You made some good points and raised some other points in my mind. There is really no end to it, is there?
Interesting write.
