God Resides Within
God lives in the hearts and souls of people,
He doesn't reign on any worldly plane.
And you cannot verify His existence,
you either believe in Him or you don't.
Religion has little to do with God
it has more to do with wielding power.
Some scientists dispute God's existence,
and yet, some passionately swear He's real.
God supplies inner spiritual peace,
He doesn't arbitrate mortal affairs.
And so, praying won't eradicate war,
nor will it save a sick child from dying.
Humans believe in a divine being
that's infinitely greater than themselves.
But God can only exist through belief,
thus, He becomes a part of who you are.
God is the conscience of humanity,
beyond rituals and superstitions.
But religion exploits Man's fear of death,
reinforcing our apprehensions of hell.
Believing in God shows faith in one's self,
His influence cannot be disputed.
And once you get past all the hype and myth,
you may find that, perhaps, God does exist.
