No one remembers me as a saint,
I was nobody's God.
But when you knelt down by the cross,
Were you saved from my bomb?
The symbol of christ stands in the church,
The sybol of a cross.
Crist rose again three days later,
Yet there he's remembered dead.
I heard the church bells ringing,
A choir sang their praise from the heart.
Yet their life of death was in my hands,
And that church stands high no more.
The cities died so did the people,
The whole world wept that night.
But one thing was alive and strong,
The force of evil on earth.

Hey, I thought that you were dead?! Or was that just the career?

I can't tell who "me" is in the poem.. and I don't know what "that night" was. This kind of sounds like a suicide bomber... who bombed a church? Or maybe it was a pilot? I can't tell.
It might be good to have clearer clues about the person and the event so that we can be better oriented. Sometimes a title can help "Hiroshima" or "Dresden" or whatever event you have in mind if this is historical.
My favorite line is the last one. The poem needs to do a better job of setting us up for this powerful last line.

Do you have a negative outlook on life? That wasn't a happy poem, but I don't write happy poems either! I think it showed you really think about religeon, good and bad...
I think you see that there's a lot of evil in the world, and all the good is slowly being sucked out of it while we watch with disbelief. People don't understand the truth, when it is plain in their faces. They don't know what to do with themselves, but you do, and it's hard to witness others in torture and pain they do not need to endure.
I liked it, you should post some other ones you made.

Interesting and very easy to read.
ok, but do you really believe in evil, or in God...you seem to say that evil wins.
God always wins...and you can take that to the grave!
