This God A Poem by Daigneault
Not wanting to join
They say, “I’m spiritual”
Mom and her folks
Believed every word
My education tells me
The world is more than 5000 years old
And I man cannot live
In a fish for 40 days
A written text
Handed down for generations
Christian, Muslim and Jew
Claim this god
But deny love
To their brothers
As our world burns
With murder, rape and greed
Chasing the unholy
In pursuit of possession
This God of my father
So distant
In the hours of pain
When all looks lost
We turn to this god
Who’s name we’ve lost
To find him close and new
