Is There a God

If God is something that you think, 
It is only a process that you drink;
Wittgenstein's answer of yes and no,
Does only referential justification show.

Societal concepts are never jokes,
But at other people make pokes;
They're straight with direct meaning,
So have an implied, absolute feeling.

David Lehman said Wittgenstein, 
Was quoted by dons as sane,
And I just think he restated that,
Language is within society, fact.

God is not physical in any way,
'Cos ontology can't have it's say;
It can't describe the dais God,
Using predicate logic most odd.

But all things are describable,
And sets with no God table,
So we can easily conclude,
That he is just us being rude.

God is real, he is there if we ask him to be, sadly some don't believe and loose out on so many blessings.
