God Is a Word and So Is the Devil

God is a word
And so is the devil
In which one do you believe?
Or are you not to deceive?

God is a word
And so is the devil
They are all the same
It’s just a name

Live by a name
Then play the game
Do not complain
You choose the name game

God is a word
And so is the devil
You got deceived 
Just because you believed

I really liked this poem. For my part, neither god nor devil, I keep a distance from these concepts and I don't believe in them, nor in their name, but I deeply believe in the quality of what you wrote and in what you wanted to convey. great.

We believe in the name that works. God works in the last minute. It takes faith to believe and teach. Waiting on the Lord is your test.but if it seems like He failed wait for the something better. Have faith if you believe in me. If you believe me believe in Jesus. If you believe in Jesus believe in God.
