When men allege belief in God
And by their acts cause others pain
Did God dictate to man, control
His thoughts, his actions, words or fate
Why blame your God?
And does the God to whom men bow
Direct them to be pitiless
Demeaning those whom they perceive
As born imperfect or unwise
Is this your God?
Did God create diversity
Of color, form or shape of eyes
For men to hew down other men
Enslaving those of lower caste
God ordered this?
Our God created worlds sublime
Lush beauty, awesome magnitude
That every child could share a bit
And see the majesty to come
This is God’s work.
No universal God permits
Abuse and cruelty in His name
No God avows a hate-filled act
When men conclude God grants this right
They have no God.

I wrote a poem about ingratitude towards God. It might not be so good because I am not a poet but it goes thus:
Stop the complaints, just THANK God.
Born perfect or imperfect
Living with stigma or not
Some don’t recognise what he has done
Instead they ask for more to come.
What a scintillating wonder he did for us
Perfect complexion, some still bleach their skin
Lack of contentment lives in some
Instead of a gratitude to God, they give him attitude
Why me? They say
Little do they know what he has planned for them
His answers come in three
Yes,no or wait
Each one is the best.
A thousand years is just a day in HIS sight
The God of all gods
The celebrity of all celebrities
Only fools will say he has not done enough.
Give God the gratitude he deserves.
