Is God Red, White And Blue?



Is God red, white and blue or just another hue?
Is God real, tried and true
or just another cue?

Is God stocks, bought and sold or a fantasy told?
Is God stern, mean and cold
or a fantasy hold?

Is God love, life and breath or a culprit of death?
Is God big, tall and breadth
or a culprit of depth?

Is God source, will and can or a forgotten man?
Is God fresh, spic-and-span
or a forgotten plan?

Is God vague, dim and far or a bright shining star?
Is God shake, slam and jar
or a bright shining czar?

Is God deaf, dumb and blind, or simply unwanted?
Is God warm, nice and kind,
or simply undaunted?
