I think it may be rather odd <br />that no one knows the real God. <br />Elusive, yes, for centuries <br />and overseeing miseries, <br />the image is 'old man with beard', <br />but then again, that might be weird. <br />And does he really live on clouds <br />from where he watches when in shrouds <br />we rest on our final journey. <br />I recently lay on a gurney <br />at Good Samaritan, L.A. <br />the doctor said I was okay <br />and not yet subject to the flight <br />or to the final tunnel light. <br />I wonder, too, why God would sit <br />when on his earth they serve up shit, <br />why would a heavenly creator <br />who's hovering near the equator <br />watch children killed and mothers maimed <br />and illness spread with cures exclaimed <br />why could we not have peace and love <br />if God is watching from above? <br />I will, not now, in any case <br />come out with theories I base <br />on years of careful scrutiny <br />but I will ask you, could it be <br />that we've been duped about our God? <br />Please do not give this thought the nod, <br />as it is surely quite enough <br />to act and be a little tough <br />I have sent notice up to Heaven <br />tonight five minutes after seven. <br />I'm fully qualified, no doubt <br />and know what this is all about. <br />So, the position, it's for me <br />and I'll be God for you and me.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-7/
