Poem: What If
By Marvin X
What if there was no God but God
No Allah Jesus Jehovah Buddha Marx Lenin Jah Damballah
What if there was no God but God
No religion but God
No Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu
No God but God
No Baptist Sunni Shiite Zionist Hebrew Communist Sikh Catholic God in Christ
Methodist Sufi
Atheist
No God but God
No woman man child grandmother grandfather uncle aunt
No God but God
No holiday except everyday holy day
No Sabbath but everyday no Juma’a but everyday
No prayin but all day
All day we say nothing but No God but God
No more Bible Qur’an Torah
No God but God
No talk conversation no sermon no speech no words but silence and
NO God but God
No moaning no laughing
No God but God
No talk no tears no wars
No God but God
No killing no lying
No God but God
No Al Humdulilah
No Hallelujah
No Hail Krishna
No Jah Rastafari
No God but God
The One
The Unity
Eternal
Everlasting
Loving
Peaceful
Maker
Owner
No God but God
What if what if what if
Maybe maybe maybe
Believe it believe it
Because it is
One God One Truth One Reality One Unity
No sects schisms divisions religions boxes tribes nations
One humanity One God
What if there is no God but God
What if what if what if
No temple no church no masjed
No God but God
No preacher no imam no rabbi no priest no minister no shaman no poet
No God but God
No prophet no messenger no messiah
No God but God
What if gay marry gay
Lesbian marry lesbian
Man marry woman
Man marry women
Woman marry men
Ho’s be with tricks
Tricks be with ho’s
What if what if what if
There is No God but God
No one beats woman
No one beats man
No one beats child
No one kills no one
No God but God
What if there is no war
What if there is peace on the planet
No God but God
What if guns are no more
No God but God
All is God
God is All
God is the people
God is the cow
God is the horse
God is the tree
God is the river
God is the fish
God is the child
God is the youth
God is the old people
God is the poor
God is the rich
God is the hungry
God is the sick
God is the dope fiend
God is the alcoholic
God is the sinner
No God but God
What if what if what if
There is no God but God
What if God is the captive you won’t liberate
The child you won’t love
The mama you hate
The daddy you hate
What if there is No God but God
What if God is the fear
You won’t release
God is the pain you won’t release
God is the love you won’t release
God is the tears you won’t cry
God is the lies you tell
God is the mountain you won’t climb
God is the success you won’t try
God is the beauty you don’t see
God is time
Running out the hourglass
God is the body you refuse to heal
God is the mind you refuse to feed
What if what if what if
What if God is ready when you ain’t ready
What if God is ready when you get ready
What if what if what if
What if there is no God but God
What if God is the forgiveness you won’t give
What if God is the denial you drown in like a hog in slop
What if what if what if
What if God is the peace in your house
The love in your life
The joy on your face
The happiness in your heart
The thankfulness of your smile
What if there is NO God but God
What if my life and my death are all for God
Not for woman, not for man
Not over a woman, not over a man
Life and death are all for God
What if what if what if
What if I grieve for nothing
Because God is everything
Whatever God wants I want
Whatever God don’t want I don’t want
Whatever God has I have
Whatever God don’t have I don’t want
What if what if what if
There is No God but God.
