Yet I Believe In Dear God Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Yet I Believe In Dear God
They say God is the biggest lie, ever spoken.
God hasn't made us,
instead we made God,
No heaven, they deny.
Yet, I believe, in dear God.
I know the meaning of sky.
the seven spheres,
of earth and atmosphere.
They say we, don't see Him.
They say we, don't listen to Him.
They say we, don't smell Him.
They say we, don't taste Him.
They say we, don't touch Him.
A thing exists only if,
at least one of our senses, witnesses it.
Watch the beauty, watch the God.
Listen to melodies, listen to the God.
Smell the flowers, smell the God, .
Taste a fruit, it has taste of God,
Touch the broken hearts, and touch the God.
We exist because we think when we think God also thinks with us.
If we exist God also exists.
Postulates, assumptions and theories,
don't have a proof,
but when applied, in a certain frame work,
are found true.
The modern science and philosophy
couldn't have been developed.
without postulates, fundamental assumptions and theories
It's God in me that makes me thinking.
How could I think without a soul in me?
You assume,
A quantity is either,
Equal to the other,
or it is greater than it,
or it is smaller than it.
No fourth option is possible.
Can you prove it?
God either exists,
or He does not.
No third option is possible.
Read the Newton's first Law of Motion,
a thing if static remains static,
if dynamic goes on moving,
unless and until an external force is applied upon it.
Come to the Big Bang Theory, you read,
a point with its volume tending to zero,
and with a weight, infinite,
burst and started spreading all around.
This is how universe was created.
The question remains, where from came,
the external force exploding it,
you don't have an answer, but deny,
and state that God is a lie.
God is the external force that exploded that point.
Non-existence of God is impossible,
the only possible second option, He exists.
He is present in my thinking;
He has no beginning and no end.
He is present in love of a friend,
He is present in service to humanity,
He is present in promotion of peace,
He is present in all good acts,
To remove illiteracy, poverty and pain,
To teach the lesson of coexistence,
To kill the hate to stop the wars,
To save the planet from destruction,
To teach the lesson of love all.
It's God in us that we think to be good and intend to do good.
I know it well, you'll still deny,
yet, I believe in dear God.
A wonderful poem, dear Akhtar Sahib. My personal opinion is that your poem 'No Simile For Muhammad' is a better reply to anyone who is interested or looking for a reply. Because the poem inspires to read about the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ thereby proving the existence of God. It is one of my all time favorite poems and inspires me tremendously.
A very inspirational poem. I too believe in God. He is wonderful.
A fine poem to read to. We are blessed with many gifts. Belief is one of it. I thank that higher power for all the gifts. Of course every gift comes packed in box of thorns. You have been given a gift of being an excellent person and a poet. Thank you for sharing.
At least one of our senses, witness it.............i would write witnesses since it refers back to one, not senses, BUT poetic license and your wishes would allow you to use witness if you like. be my guest! Listen melodies, listen the God, .........i would write listen to melodies (or, to match some other lines in the stanza, listen to the melodies. whereas in these two lines: Smell the flowers, smell the God, Taste the fruits, taste the God, ......i say these lines are good the way they are written, but it would ALSO be ok to not use the in front of flowers and fruits...........if you were not speaking of specific fruits and flowers (like the ones you are looking at in the grocery store as you are thinking of the poem) . you could also remove the from in front of God, but i LIKE the way you have used the. ====================== there is something(s) about the following sentence which doesn't sound right to me. if you still like it the way it is, let me know if you want me to try to explain my 'objection' to its structure. Postulates, assumptions and theories, Don't have a proof, But when applied, in a certain frame work, Found true and developing, The modern science and philosophy. =============================== Without three, helpless you are, It's God, only God, present in your thinking, Making capable of discussing, Existence of God. what does the three' refer to? ? i think there may be a word missing between Making and capable. one or you? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - so far i find the following stanza to be the most interesting, and the one too philosophical for ME to deal with. i like it. You assume, A quantity is either, Equal to other, Or it is greater, Or smaller. No fourth option is possible. Can you prove it? And the God, either exists, Or He is not. No third option is possible. ============================ more interesting lines to ponder.............if you are the kind of person who does such things! i'm not one of them. (at least i don't ponder for long; if something is that difficult to decide, i just say i don't care what the answer is.) these are the lines i just referred to: You don't have an answer, but deny, And state that god is a lie. [ did you forget to capitalize God? ] Non-existence of God, impossible, The only second option, He exists. ................... well, it could be God existed once, but not now. or He existed in one state but has changed states. or He didn't exist before everything else, but now He exists. i don't care, because i don't know and don't think any human will ever know! ! ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - He has no begin and not an end. ............no beginning Or no start........? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - but the last stanza will make many humans say if God is so wonderful and all-knowing, and all-powerful, how come He does not just make everything 'nice' for all mankind? ? ? after all we are? made in God's image [whatever that means] and He should take care of His children better! ============================= i used to believe in God and the motto of the u.s.a. i believe is still in God we trust (it's still printed on our money!) . BUT i do not believe in Him/Her/It now and don't lose any sleep over it. on the other hand, i might envy those who find strength and hope and comfort due to their belief in God. ========================== this is a fine poem, and a valiant effort to coax unbelievers to the truth, or perhaps it is just a simple statement of the poet's position which he enjoys having. i am glad it mentions the objections some people have to a belief in God. thanks for sharing. i hope the poet does not mind all the suggestions i have given. i believe he is open to suggestions and i hope he doesn't mind me sharing them with other readers. if Akhtar minds, he can just ask me to send such suggestions as private messages. i wish i had time to do more suggesting for other poets and i do from time to time when asked. of course i am not an english 'expert'. bri :)
