STREET PREACHER

STREET PREACHER

To everyone there's a deity
That's neither strange nor odd
To some, it's money or power
To others, an omnipotent God
------------------------------------
" If you were to notice
Through long contemplation
Or varied statistics,
You'd find that power, money, and God
Share some of the same characteristics.
Like, if certain ramifications
WereΒ taken into consideration
And certain obligations were implied
Then, would it not be expected
For one's thoughts to be respected
One's basic rights be protected
From lies, alibis,
And political ties?..."
----------------------------------------
" Now it may be going a bit too far
But I think it should be said,
One can't prove God is living
One can't prove God is dead
So,
Is man a fabrication
Of God's imagination
Or is God a fabrication
Of man?"

A co-write with a street magician I know
LORD ISAAC ~ Tony Taylor
Mostly, Lord Isaac's sense of misdirection
Β * cool guy....... excellent magician !!

As usual Sir you "poke the bear"
stirring we rabble by your questions.
Everyone has their own answers,
eternity will sort the right and the wrong
until then we are left to speculation,
Faith our yes faith in our no,
Well done!

Interesting topic for a poem, Tony. A little bit political and a lot a bit religion.
But hey, who am I to question the belief systems of another individual? After all, I'm not really sure what I believe in anymore myself, other than myself.
Good write, I enjoyed reading this "food for thought" piece.

Or is God a fabrication
Of man?"
