People just like to argue about God. I've learned to ignore it as I really just don't care anymore. If He does exist, then surely that will be a good thing? If He doesn't, the world will keep on spinning. Neither of the possibilities will stop me from being who I am.
Here's one by an anonymous American poet:
Coloured flag
Of
Red
White
And Blue.
Oh glorious flag,
I worship thee.
You give me
The courage
To go forth
And find
Nay, search for
My own poems
For my own
Homework.
God
Bless
America!
I agree with you completely. This is why I don't write about “love, hate, war, humanity” etc. I am not a very good poet, not by a long shot, so I just know that I would crash and burn if I attempted any such topics!
My father. When I was a teenager, I used to read his poetry and think:
"When I'm older, I want to be a poet like you, Dad..."
I never did become a poet though. Guess I'm just not as good as him.
