If There Is A God Poem by Eric Cockrell

if there is a God,
then He/She has
to be pissed!

bearing all the blame
for decades/centuries
of wars, countless
genocides...
famines, earthquakes,
starvation, and disease...

all the atrocious acts
committed by mankind
in the name of God!

and now we live in a nuclear
world, with the threat of
total annihilation...
God?

there are no chosen people!
all people are just people.
all of life is sacred...

what we blame on God
is either the manifestations
of our self oriented egos...

or the results of our actions...

if there is a God,
and i believe there is...
you'll find Him/Her expressed
in the forms of all the living...

in the song of life hidden
in the person you like least...
in the hunger for compassion...
in your own heart!
