If God Was a Nihilist (Free verse) by baughworm
And if God was a nihilist,
Would we still have Wal-Mart?
(smiles and sweatshops)
Would Columbus have even ever
Looked out to sea?
(slaughter and slavery)
Would Milton have bothered
Paining students who would
Rather be drinking in smoky bars?
Would we still have fallen?
(apples and condoms)
If God didnât care,
Could everyone sing in
Voices of angels and
Dance in the fields,
Not sit scowling,
Guns in lap,
Protecting our fences?
(neighbors and pirates)
If God was a nihilist,
Would Satan, by now,
Have bored with his
Spiteful meddling?
(ignore him and heâll go away)
And, could we then finally claim,
Without hesitation,
That man is
Good.
