Poet's note: "A GOD IN ME" is a poem I wrote in the year 2019
The ill concept of the relationship between men and their God inspired me alot in writing the poem
When I was young I was tought that going to church and walking in the light of their preaching is the only way to better life
As I grew older I see that what I was taught is far from making the world a better place
I saw segregations, discrimination, and dishonesty inside the hole I was taught to bury my hope, where I was taught that I would find my God
I knew it's no more as any other place
And I have chosen to seek my own God within me
"I have to shape my mouth into a roof and make a God with my body and bones.
