Divine Protection? Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Although we try, we can’t define the attributes of the divine
So most of us choose to accept what we are told; someone’s concept.

Is God a he? Is god a she, perhaps both simultaneously
Did God create the universe? Is curiosity our curse?

Is it right that we should fear god? I find this idea rather odd
It does not seem appropriate to live in fear the normal state.

Maybe God is a neutral source of power we can tap into
Though we are free to choose our course. Responsible for what we do

I do not know what I believe and I refuse to speculate
There’s nothing guessing will achieve I will not learn if I but wait.

Perchance we are collectively all tiny parts of one great whole
And will attain divinity, when we rejoin the over soul.

A theory you may reject and many will I must expect
alhough I say in its defence you must weigh up the evidence.

Consider what you have been taught, cast doubt on its validity
It may not be as you had thought, an absolute, a certainty.

The truth is that nobody knows. Because we aren’t intended to.
If we were wise we’d recognise some things are hidden from our eyes.

Because we could not comprehend the nature of divinity.
To suffering humanity God must remain a mystery.
