god is great <br />but nobody <br />wants to be god <br />because he holds <br />the most difficult job <br /> <br />some believers pray <br />to him as if he owes <br />them money and fame <br />when their prayer is answered <br />they lavish him with offerings <br />and when not, coldness <br />seizes his heart and soon <br />he is tempted to turn to <br />another god of his own making <br />one that he thinks will grant him things <br /> <br />some place their gods everywhere <br />on the floor, in caves, everywhere <br />that they think they need a god <br />and they call him kitchen god <br />rice god, door god, sea god, <br />sun god anything to their liking <br />of a god that could service them <br />their whims and fancies <br /> <br />between them God struggles <br />to find a real believer to show <br />his real identity, to teach the rest <br />a lesson of sincerity not only to Him <br />but their fellow human beings <br />and that's usually an unpleasant job <br />that necessitates the extremes <br />of water and fire to shake up <br />the men's conscience<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-most-difficult-job/
