Gods

Jehovah is a stern, forbidding god,
A god of wrath who punishes
The guilty with his rod,
A god feared and unknown
Who turned Lot's wife for just
A look into a statue of stone.

Allah is far removed from man
Only known through
His Prophet Mohamed,
A man with great imagination,
With Allah probably
His own creation.

But Jesus was god's only son,
Immortal, popular, well known,
Suffered and was crucified
With man's fate on earth
Quite easily identified.
