We know you are the self-concealed God <br />because to do otherwise, <br />skulking behind sycamores, <br />would be a dead giveaway. <br /> <br />Nevertheless, <br />everything seems so 'pointed, ' <br />we learn so many 'lessons, ' <br />there are all these 'coincidences, ' <br /> <br />It's perfectly ridiculous. <br />Why not peel off the billions of masks <br />and admit you are stalking us <br />every damn day of our lives? <br /> <br /> <br />(2006)<br /><br />Mike Finley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prayer-for-truth/
