Is There a God

Is there a God?
I say no,
all the disease and war tell me so.
If there is a God,
why is he so mean,
to put mankind through all that has been.

Why do people believe in a deity?
Is it madness?
The sense in it evades me.
Why now  in this modern time
do people believe in something akin
to a nursery rhyme?

Is there a God?
I'd like to know,
Do you have any proof
that you can show?

Hi Jenny, Great little poem, thought provoking and sincere. Loved it. As for God. God is love. People create disease, war, and evil. I have no proof. I have faith in you to find the truth. Thank you for making a sweet little poem. Take care. Earl
