God Given 

If such a creature didn’t exist

we’d have to invent it for sure.

Whether Zeus or Allah,

Jehovah or any of the rest,

all fulfil the same 

purpose.

All create a framework 

of behaviour,

the laws of god

which must be obeyed

without argument,

without thinking,

without due process.

All create a framework

of rights.

Some have them,

others don’t.

They’re god given

so no argument,

no thinking,

needed.

And all need a territory,

a god given territory

from the beginning of time

and for evermore

No argument,

no thinking,

god given.
