God Is Dead

God is dead.

We kill him every day
   by what we do and what we say.
The self delusioned fool proclaims
   there is no God and walks away
yet, in our heart of hearts we  call his name
   knowing we are frauds and flawed
due to our selfish wants and not by God.

God is not dead

Just Silent and alive
   allowing our destinies to be self contrived
by free will and our own intelligent designs
   as we believe we are creators more benign.
Fools we play bent upon world wide destruction
   deciding who lives or dies with power as seduction.
God is not dead, he watches all with tears in his eyes.

I'm sure He does watch us with tears…and one day when we are with Him He will wipe the tears from our eyes! Love your poem!:)
