I am not a traditional Christian nor do I believe  going to church makes you a  real Christian which I discover was written about by Kiergegaard.Yet I believe there is a poetic truth in much of what it’s all about including Jesus as a symbol of suffering humanity.

After I had written the poem it reminded me of a song by George Harrison,My Sweet Lord.

I frightened my husband once when I was ill as I declared,I want to see Jesus…I didn’t want to die.. just thought it’s be interesting to meet him after all these years of hearing his name!

Are nature and nurture at war?
Is Reason a queen or a whore?
Such questions waste time for
It’s not Either/Or
Let balance be what we  adore.

Will this state or that one make peace?
Can such bare hostility cease?
We all must decide
Before more deaths arrive
Is it God’s palm or Satan’s we grease

Since atom bombs now rule us all
We live under their eternal pall.
Is this our direction
Or a human predilection
For banging our heads on brick walls?

We now hold a power so fierce
That all human hearts must be pierced.
Should we keep shopping
without ever stopping,
While our sweet Lord  dies again  in our wars.
