God Is Not Dead
Sickness and tragedy
are not punishment
but facts of life
viruses attack
wars kill
tumours grow
leukemia strikes
blood vessels clog up, burst
the innocent are killed by
drugged and drunk drivers
psychotic people act out dreams
that only make sense to them
in a parallel reality
alcohol distorts
ends in abuse
children are killed
by playing with guns
drown in pools, rivers
these are but facts of existance
there is no theistic God
directing these processes
of cause and effect
whom we can call
don't misunderstand
God is very real
but different
to the traditional
belief of old.
