God Must Be Wrong Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof

God Must Be Wrong

Rating: 4.3


Don’t beat the traffic light
Stop! When it’s red
Zoooom…goes the Mercedes
And BMW 5 Series
And Toyota Altis
And Honda
And Proton Saga
Fast car
Or not fast car
Why should you beat the traffic light?

Show off or you're too rich
You can afford to pay the summons
Are you running from something?
Touts or loan sharks
So, the police want you
And that’s made you beat the red light
To escape
“Excuse me, I want to win this race”
So you’re an illegal racer

All right, you were drunk
Or insane
And you don’t give a damn
If someone might have injured
Or died
Because you beat the red light

In life, there’s nothing new
Murder, thefts, robbery
Rape, molest, and forgery
Kidnap, fraudulent and bribery
Man got to do what he got to do
To live
Don’t tell me there’s something wrong
With our brains, the human's mind

Blame it to the creator
You know it was red
So stop
Why don’t you stop?
Those criminals
Were they wrong too
Man got to do what man got to do
To live
What exactly went wrong
Cohort of good and bad
The good one
How good is good?
They got nice home
Fast car
Loving families
Extremely educated
Highly respected
And commanded
Their jobs
But, they still beat the red lights

Gathered the whole scientists
Biologist, chemist, neurologist
Psychiatrist, psychologist, and anthropologist
Study them
Study the brains
Was there anything wrong?
Could they fix it?
Genetically engineered
Or fated

Please, don’t blame the creator
Everyone couldn’t be a President
Everyone couldn’t be a Janitor
Fair enough
No matter how clever we are
Tell this to them
You cannot create blood for lives
If you do
There’ll be no God
Remember
The Super Nova
Black holes
Milky Way
And the Galaxy
They’ve been around for billions of years
We’re merely on a short-term basis
Soon we will leave
And decease

You write with great intensity and the message is very strong. Many a man assumes too much credit and places far too little value on the rights of others.

Hi bro, sometimes life can whiz out of control but only if we allow it..when we sense the danger of the crash and burn...that's the moment we learn...We either stop for the red...or we close our eyes to the dangers and learn the hard way. Red lights, ....Just another one out of many for us to get blinded by.......Excellent writing my brother. Best wishes Jon
