Colin James Platt Poet Rhyme

What Is God

What is God?
Is it the Power?
Or is it a man?
Could it be an Alien?
I like to think it’s a person 
But I’m probably mistaken
All the knowledge in the mind
Just makes it harder to define
I’d like to dream and go to heaven
Just to ask to see the boss there
I would ask him why the world is so troubled
He would have to admit it is a muddle
I wouldn’t trouble him with little things like the weather
Although I would ask why people have to die in earthquakes and floods
I’m sure he would understand the needs of a simple man
To want something to believe in besides religion
Religion doesn’t help they are all the same
Professing to be better than the rest is a silly game
I think I’ll get into yoga it might help me pass over to Nirvana
Then I would know all the secrets of the ages just like the sages
And I could share it with everyone and say it was from above
But people would probably laugh at me for telling them to love
So I will just tell you my friend I’m sure you’ll understand
Simply love, that’s all
And now I’ll go to bed
I think it’s for the best and I do need the rest.
Good night.

Kaye Locke June 30, 2014 at 5:40 AM I hope you slept well. I practice yoga and it certainly helps me to see things more clearly, though I'm not sure I've discovered any secrets, maybe only that I'm not as bendy as I used to be! Have a wonderful day. Colin James Platt June 30, 2014 at 5:45 AM Thank you, Kaye. Yoga is the way to heaven. Keep om practicing. Regards, Colin.
