Does God Only Listen To the Conquerors?

Does God only listen to the conquerors?

To the ones who came to destroy
The religion, the culture and the joy

Of every girl and boy

Who they declared to be the enemy?
Does God only listen to the conquerors
Through their bishops and priests

And regard everyone else as pitiful beasts?
Are the conquerors so strong

That even God must belong

To the conquerors?
These questions are important

Because the conquered become impotent

Unable to think of or worship

The God of their ancestors.

Is the God of the conqueror so weak

That he needs the conquerors to wreak

Havoc on everyone who sees God in other forms?

Why would anyone want to worship

A cruel and small minded God?
Unless the conqueror’s god is not God at all

But just an image, just an idol

To keep the conquered controlled and idle.

Who’s to say what form God must take

To be loved and worshiped for goodness sake?

Who’s to say that every version has its merit,
And that the God my ancestors I can’t inherit,

And with my kids and grandkids share it,

If it makes us good and kind?

Why must I believe and have faith

In the God of my conqueror

When God exists in all that there is

Including the Gods of my ancestor.
So again I ask that one big question,

Does God only listen to the conquerors?
