Have you ever asked?
If God really exists
Don’t be alarmed
I had myself asked deeper questions
At one time or the other in my life
Once, I asked myself
If there’s God,
Then Who created Him
Who created the Creator?
Who created the Creator’s Creator, ad ifinitum?
What I got in return
Was more confusion!
During my study of the Law
One golden rule was drummed into us
When you are tracing
the validity of Laws
The moment it leads you
To the Constitution
Of your country
That is the safest spot
To stop asking further questions
It is called “The grund norm” –
The embodiment and source
Of all legality
It is the creation of the people –
The social contract
Signed and subscribed to by them all
Through their elected representatives
At the national parliament,
Or state houses of assembly.
A reasonable Lawyer therefore
Would no longer waste his or her time
Having traced the law
To the constitution of the country
It makes no more sense
To probe further
Just as a good Lawyer
Would stop asking questions
Beyond the Constitution
Of his nation
Let us wisely stop asking questions
About God’s source
Beyond the Bible.
If we want to unveil
What precedes the Bible,
Then at that very point
Our foolishness will manifest
I was once such a fool,
Lost in my thoughts
Until born-again
And soaked in the Word
Returned to reality
Happily unscathed!
