What Kind Of God

What kind
of God
would treat us
this way?
In mankind
the wide spectrum
between
evil to good
can be found.
In some,
such kindness,
while in others
a wickedness
not to be believed
is in play.
The ancients
believed the gods
in Olympus or Valhalla
were making humans
behave either way.
Moving us around
as marionettes
move puppets
on their stage,
using
us as their
entertainment
or fight as their
slaves.
We
were just pawns
with no say
in their game.
The never ending
battle of
good vs. Evil.
The gods on
Olympus and Valhalla
are no longer there,
no gods
to push us around,
yet
we still behave
as if
they are there.
What is the
motivation then,
that has us
act out?
Who
sets the rules
for the games
that we play?
Is it simply
genetics
that make us
behave as we do?
Some
are born evil
and some
are born good,
just as
some are born
blond
while others brunette.
Are we
powerless
to act in any
other way,
our programming
prearranged
for our part in the
play?
What kind
of God
would have us
behave
in such ways.
Genetics
it seems
is the programmed
force at play.
Survival
of the species
is the name
of the play.
Only
in conflict
does the the species
survive and progress.
Humanity moves
inexorably forward
on the back
of genetic duress,
because,
what kind god
would treat us
this way?
