God

[sympathygrl]

‘God’ is what they call you.
What are you?
Do you exist?
Or you are the blue.
Do you bear an eye?
Your vision is seen
What are you again,
King or queen?

Tell me where is heaven.
Below or above me.
I see it below my feet,
What do you see?
‘Lord’ is what they call you.
Are you the Lord?
Or you do not exist,
You’re just a reward.

Which god?

She said the Lord God...there's only one.

Ah, the Lord God Bacchus, thank you for the clarification.

To say that some thing doesn't exist is one of the most stupid statements I've ever heard. The magnificent idiot wants us to grant him the authority to establish some thing to then go ahead and deny it.

You seem to be wanting to question the existence of God, asking if he is only some sort of a reward (a similar theme can be pursuit of goodness). The imagery you bring is specifically cultural - blue skin and eye. I like it, I like the conception and that the question is put forward gently. Still it needs work. The poem rhymes is fine. But the tension between the binaries is not sufficient. Just my take. And don't get discouraged by criticism that borders on rejection. Keep writing. (I presume this is your own writing.)

Goddamn, all those idiotic people who deny the existence of sasquatch, Nessie and the Cottingley fairies.

I find it telling that most non-believers result to taradiddle when it comes to God. There are rarely serious points made; or even a desire to have serious points made. But rather a show of their exceeding pride; while demonstrating the precise opposite of the open-mindedness they profess. What's more, when you read the Bible, you find this tendency described in full; so that so far from successfully disputing the religious point of view, they only serve to prove it.

The reason God is so difficult to conceive of is because of God's greatness. But lazily, instead of searching and studying, we say there is no God. And if I'm wrong, tell me, since faith in God has waned have people in general become more or less industrious and astute? Ye shall know them by their fruits.
