What God Wants Poem by Alexander Shaumyan

A torn mind of a nonbeliever-
That's what God wants-
A transmitter and a receiver-
That's what God wants.

All the bickering and the fighting-
That's what God wants-
To ignite a thought like a lightning-
That's what God wants.

I've searched a thousand faces
Just to see Him-
I've combed a thousand places
Just to feel Him.

Crowds of pompous fools
I endured
Just to find something true
And pure-
That's what God wants.

Lost in vanity and derision,
Lost in labels and hollow divisions
Of the liars whose hearts grew cold.

Authenticity-
That's what God wants-
Electricity-
That's what God wants.

Let the rain disperse all my doubts,
Let me free myself from the crowds,
Let me let myself just to be-
Letting God radiate through me.

Liberation-
This is what God wants,
Celebration-
This is what God wants-
Just to be creative and free,
Just to share God's voice through me.
