"My God Is." "No My God Is!"

People say they believe

People say they have faith

Then they go and preach hate.

 

“My God is the God”

“No My God Is”

“I think my God is his.”

 

People tell me are you awake?

People, you are allowed mistakes.

Just please stop all the hate!

 

“My God is white”

“My God is black”

“I still think my God is his”

 

People make up your mind.

People unlike you, God was kind.

Please put down your stupid signs!!!

 

“My God is Republican."

“My God is Democrat."

“I think my God is a Repubocrat.”

 

People, please put down your bats!

People, you’re better than that!

Don’t even know who you’re yelling at!

 

“My God hates you!”

“Well, My God hates you too!”

“My God hates me.”

 

People just open your eyes to see.

People please just let it all be.

Just allow yourself to be free.

 

“My God will kill you!”

“My God will kill you too!”

“My God wants me to commit suicide.”

 

People, you’re all dense.

People, you all make me tense.

None of you make a bit of damn sense!

 

“My God is Jewish”

“My God is American”

“My God could be Hungarian.”

 

People you all praise the same thing.

People, you should all be ashamed.

You, yourselves are too blame.

 

Because you see, God is not white. God is not black. God is none of that.

 

God is your heart and soul.

God is what makes you whole.

God is what allows you to grow.

 

People, please put down your guns.

People just let it all be done.

It’ll be nice to see people, not on the run.

 

God wants you to love not hate.

God wants you to accept and appreciate.

God wants you to fulfill your fate.

 

So stop debating which God you’re praising.

So stop all of the rating and the hazing.

Just be thankful that God thinks you’re worth saving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

This is in no way one of my better poems but I wrote it because of all of the protests and hate, over the health care reform bill and well the fact that most people are just ignorant when it comes to religion and politics.

Reviews

[Joy Lynn B.]

This piece speaks for many people. It is true that people are fighting over the health care reform, and maybe if they all grew up and noticed what was actually going. Then the argument would be over.Oh, I almost forgot Dread Solomon has a point, what does 'My God is his? And people are to blame'

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

MAN! This poem is AWESOME! You really wrote something Epic.
You've definitely made some powerful statements. 100(+1)

[Daniel Gardner]

I really like this espacially these:
“My God will kill you!”
“My God will kill you too!”
“My God wants me to commit suicide.”

“My God is Jewish”
“My God is American”
“My God could be Hungarian.”

Very good.

[Coyote Poetry]

You told the answer in the last lines. God is inside each of us. What men do in the name of God can be very sad. A outstanding poem. So many points stood out. Poem is amazing. Thank you.

you're a good writer and the subject here is interesting , keep up the good work !!

[Epic Destruction 911]

I love how this makes so much sense. Its just straight forward, and too right. I wish I had written this :)

[rachielle]

This is a very interesting read. I found it different since it talks about God, and not a lot of people dare to talk about Him. I loved the way you wrote about the different opinions of people. I find it funny that they fight even when talking about a holy topic such as God, even when they know that God commands them to love their neighbors. You've got substance here. Go talk some sense into people! Great job.:D

[*~Kristy~*]

I love it... This is the reason why I don't believe in religion...Too much controversy...

[Tommy]

Wow, you know there are so many great lines in this piece. I love the message of, love not hate. And the realization by most that there is one God for us all, and He is One in the same, The same One Who hears all are prayers. I don't get it sometimes why we are so worried about others when we should be looking in the mirror and pointing out our own faults to deal with. Love not Hate, great work! Oh and God rules as a King over His kingdom, and He is on His side. That would really pissim off; the people saying He is on their side. lol.

RLG,
Tommy

[Francez]

Haha, I love this! You pinpoint the exact problem of the current society: the futile fights of men's opinions & wrong interpretation of God. I especially like your conclusion in the last two stanzas. Well said!

[salvador (camuel choisu..]

wow i couln't have said it more better myself. you said almost all a have been wanting to say for a long time all in one magnificent poem.
