~ If There Be No God
If there be no God,
Then all the stars, that in their place
Have aeons roamed abroad,
Would long ago have lost the trace
Of orbits-if there be no God.
If there be no God,
Then justice in the heart of man
Would be a fake-a senseless fraud;
Each for himself alone would stand-
No honor-if there be no God.
You are totally correct. Only the fool denies God. Great write, I like it
If there be no God, then there will be no order in the world. Good poetry!
we all believe in a higher power, and we all aspire to do whats right an just in its presence, if that was not there what would we all aspire to? short and to the point.
Adeline, a great poem and totally true. It today finds itself on the Best Member Poem list at #89. Congratulations.
Much more convincing and clear, than any sermon or full written book. Great poem!
There does seem to be a shortage of justice. Justice seems to be for sale to the highest bidder nowadays though doesn’t it? Good write!
A poignant rendition set aside for sober reflection. An insightful creation written with conviction. Thanks for sharing, Adeline.

I would like to translate this poem
I believe that if there was no god, there would be no war, scientific advancements would come uncontrollably, there would less racism, and man would be able to look at the stars and not think of letting god do all the work but helping to move humanity forward.
