Gods

What started it off To believe in them Spirits or Religion Their is no God in men Iconic figures From past and present years Ruling tribes With tears and fears Showing allegiance To the Sky and Earth As we all know The planet of their birth Nominated leaders By ancient committee's Who grew to rule Ancient towns and cities Power, Suppression As their leaders are feared To serve whose Gods Why citizens are speared Aztec, Inca and Egyptian Priests Look above Who do they greet A cloudy sky A starry night If they opened their eyes No Gods in sight Civilisation's past and present too Just needing something to look up too Clever leaders, imaged thoughts Create a God Citizens bought Man made icons And planet earth's Were worshipped divinely For what its worth Lava, statues, clouds and corn From their countries Born and sworn If there is a God Around us every day Its Mother Nature In every way.

Congrats James on "Gods" being featured. It doesn't change, only the names. Man doesn't learn from his mistakes.

In the Bible, Paul says that if man just looks around at nature that he can't deny that there is a God. I am just awed at what I see everyday if I just take a few minutes to really look. Keep writing put thoughts to pen. Sara

I respect that; it's a good poem. Keep in mind that god is decapilalized if refering to no specific god. Check out mine (Intelligenter Design)
