Who Is God? Poem by James Donovan

A question that has bothered man for all recorded days:
is who is God, this entity, we worship and give praise?
Is He a supreme being? Well, depending on your view,
He may be called a lot of things; so I offer you a few.

Christians call him Jesus Christ, the only son of God,
but they also call him heavenly Father, this is very odd;
They also call him Holy Ghost, the only true divinity,
so now instead of just one God, we have the Holy Trinity?

People of the Jewish faith, have named their god Yahweh,
but they have a plural name for him and that is Adonai
The Jews claim in the Torah, and in the Talmud too,
that Jehovah is their only god, so how can this be true?

Buddhists have no special gods they honor and obey;
They use three doctrines telling them how to live each day.
their holy book Tipitaka lets Bhudda stand alone.
Do we now have three new gods who occupy one throne?

The Pantheon of Hindu gods are like branches on a tree
yet their holy chronicles, the Vedas, limit them to three.
Vishnu, Shiva and Kali are the names most often heard
but most Hindus honor Brahma as creator of the Word.

Muslims worship Allah and face Mecca when they pray,
Muhammad is their prophet and the Koran is their way.
Islam is the faith they practice, and all of them believe
that other faiths are false and used only to deceive.

Atheists on the other hand, claim there is no God;
They say religion is a lie and mock it as a fraud;
Their creed is Evolution and they prize it like a jewel.
If they are wrong, if God exists, of what use is their tool?

Is there a God who'll punish us because of non- belief?
Is there a Devil who'll steal our soul like any common thief?
So in the end we ask our self, to what god should I pray?
We'll have a final answer, when we face Judgement Day.
