Dan,

Hello, again! So nice to see you.

I really don't like these kinds of philosophers - who preach a horrible lie and expect people to believe them. The one saving grace is that he evidently ONCE believed in a God - since he thinks that being has died.

But any evidence that would have led him to believe SHOULD have proved to him that God still IS. And always will be. --sigh--

Thanks, my friend!

Nietzsche said that Christ died on the Cross and so God is dead. He forgot that he Rose from the dead and lives. Well it was also said that once he told others if they followed his philosophy they will become insane, than he proceeded to become insane.

Your poem is presented well. I like the image, the color scheme, the rhymes, the smooth flow, and your strong message. Your notes add further definition to your poem. You give readers much to think about in this troubled world. I hated it when God was taken out of the classroom. It has continued with all those who try and most win to get phrases removed from documents etc that refer to God. It is a sorry state we have gotten ourselves into and only prayer and God can redeem us.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

A very well-written poem about the chaos in the world that is definitely not from God and the ones who believe in God. Violence abd lies us not from God who is about love, hope, and peace.

I have never heard of this man before and your poem pays tribute to his way of thinking and we certainly need to change the way people are thinking today as most of them have lost direction, food for thought here, love Dolly x

Thanks for the comments. I do not pay tribute to Nietzsche in any form only remark on the fact that presented a way of thought that has made the 20th Century the bloodiest in history and now we have to change it with the thoughts of a greater thinker St. John Paul II who calls us to change.

I learned something from your write. I did not know it was Nietzsche who proclaimed and started the 'God is Dead' movement. This is an interesting poem.

Thank you for the comments. Yes he started the movement and it was told he once said that if you lived his philosophy you would become insane. Then he became insane.
