If You Imagine A Created Place Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Peter Levi)

If you imagine a created place
where God had never been,
then you imply that God is not God
and there is something that He has not seen.

If you imagine such a place,
then you do not acknowledge
God as the creator, you are no different
from scientists with human knowledge

who set off all things to mere destiny,
to a unknown energy that did not exist,
that exploded in a big bang
and have by mere chance become the world that is.

Where does God then in the picture
that you are drawing fit?
If God is not God,
and if He isn’t in any of it?
