You Ask Me Poem by Francis Duggan

You ask me is there a God would not know would not lie
For the answer to that ask one other than I
Call me an infidel, atheist or agnostic or call me what you may
But to an invisible God I do not kneel to pray
Men go to war for God and Country and for God and Country have died
And they firmly believe they have God on their side
But they must be quite confused in their gift of faith
Since thou shalt not kill Moses fifth commandment state,
Why ask me a simple man of doggerel
Of a life hereafter or of a heaven or hell
The beauty created by the Goddess of Nature I see every day
Though out of sight she is well hidden away,
Of the existence of God ask one other than me
Since I only ever believe what I see.
