Poem
This free verse was written from an agnostic point of view 
so may appear biased, against organised religions
I assure you this is not my intention, and it is simply a poem 
For the record, I have told lies in the past, and still do occasionally 

The tannoy operator 

And so it came to pass at a certain time in human history 
the greatest illuminati in civilisation are called together 
with only one question to solve 

IS THERE ONE TRUE GOD!

Physicists, philosophers, professors, sit round an enormous table 
No religious leaders where invited,
as they are deemed to be extremely prejudiced, 
Besides they already believe in many relevant Gods
depending on their denomination and orientation, 

Stern faces stare across the table at each other 
For this matter is to be taken, with the utmost gravitas,
All known religious texts are brought in, and piled high on the table,

“Search the evidence” echoes over a tannoy system 

All the texts are studiously scrutinised, over the ensuing days 
After which the great debate is due to begin in earnest,
But first a show of hands is called for, by the tannoy operator 
and this question put to them, 
“Have you found one true God” 
but alas nobody raises a hand, 
“Ok so let the great debate begin”
They all just look at each other, stand up shake hands,
leave the room, and go their separate ways

Unknown to these illuminati another conference had been called in secret
by the tannoy system operator
Only this time, it was between the various religious leaders, 
Again after pouring over all the texts 
the same question was put to them, 
“Have you found one true God”
and sure to form, every one of them raise their hands

But then unbelievably stand up, and prepare to leave the room, 
“You cannot go, without revealing who God is”
echoes from the tannoy 
Just then a massive argument erupts, spilling over into fisticuffs 
Indeed this status quo, has remained ever since.
