I cannot prove there is a God
You cannot ask this of me
What even scholars struggle to supply
What their opposers favour fondly
I cannot prove there is a God
My proof to you is dust
But I shall tell you all I know
If, you insist I must
If there are deserts in the place
Where there have once been kingdoms
If there are mountains on this earth
Then I see Allah in them
If there are waters that don't mix
There is the Book, there is the Pen
There is a country under siege
That will someday be free again
If there's a fracture 'round the moon
And veins that mirror those of leaves
Then I know Allah through the woods
And through the bark of Maple trees
And through the gentle root of plants
And all we know no man could make
Through verses in our holy Book
They couldn't even replicate
And if there is a heart that beats
And eyes that see through flaws
How can you look at me and say
"Prove there is a god".
