Pondering the Existence of God and Morality (unfinished)

Just leave me at the oasis, 

I'll watch them come and go.

I'll sit and think my thoughts away,

until I have no more. 


For if I am empty, I must also be pure,

with an emptiness not sick nor sin can endure.

But if I am empty, I can neither be good

so are my thoughts truly bad 

or simply misunderstood.

 

I must be sure they are wrong

before giving them to spoil.

For the blood of an innocent thought

is worse than the most sinister toil.

 

But is it up for me to decide

whats right from wrong,

true religion from genocide?

If I am the judge and there is no jury

where is the god and all his glory?


Which way is up when your spinning round

it seems you only learn from falling down.

 

So as faith would tell you to believe

I instead insist on being me.

And maybe through me you live

and we are all gods, if only for a little bit.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Unfinished and a bit out of sync - the latter verses (spaced differently) don't reflect the flow established from the outset all that well. The point was to question the purpose of god if we alone are left to judge and change our view of morality.

 

Any thoughts are welcome, thanks.
