Questioning

What if rain fell into the sky
Instead of down to Earth?
If lives started in graves
Instead of at birth?

If it all began with a bang
Will it end the same way?
But is it absolutely necessary
For us all to have our own say?

We fight over holy land
Die and kill for them, the lot
What would you think of us
If you were our God?

Whether Christian, Muslim or Jew
For this why kill one another?
When the only true religion is
To love everyman like a brother
