Denying God Poem by Zachary Zuccaro

Denying God



People deny God
because of cruelty and evil in the world,
injustice and hatred.

People do not want to believe in a God
who would allow such things to occur.

Perhaps that would be true
if life was really important,
if happiness during life mattered at all.

Yet life is but an insignificant flicker
that is extinguished soon after it is lit,
and I do not believe our bodies or worldly happiness
matter at at all to God.

Rather life is but a test of our souls
to determine whether we can endure
suffering and temptation and are prepared
to be true servants of God.

Pain, suffering, happiness, pleasure,
none of these matter at all.
All that matters to the Lord,
and hopefully to us,
isour souls.
