Man Missing That No One Has Seen

Hi there’s a man missing that no one has seen
Some say he has a white beard and can do miraculous things
But I know better I doubt he has ever been around
Just look at Africa and the dying children’s frowns
This isn’t a man I think we should find
He is lost for good except in other people’s minds
If I had that divine power I could not stand back and watch
And that is proof of this unjustified hoax
Civil war, murder, terrorism all in this name
When will we learn that religion is to blame?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
