Chance - by Steve Turner
If chance be
the Father of all flesh,
disaster is his rainbow in the sky,
and when you hear
state of emergency
sniper kills ten
troops on rampage
whites go looting
bomb blasts school
it is but the sound of man
worshipping his maker.
This poem goes well with viewing the film Magnolia. Read a review of the film and viewing film in general by Steven Garber here. What we believe about the world says a lot about moral meaning in our lives.

Hey Greg,
The poem you listed by Steve Turner as "Chance" is actually part of a larger poem by Steve Turner called "Creed". A full version is available on-line at various places; you can find one easily with a Google search. Like your blog. Keep up the good work.

See the poem entitled Creed by Steve Turner listed under my post for December 10. Similiar theme but not part of the same poem.
