Ra the Egyptian sun god battles darkness every night <br />and returns every morning with another day in his arms <br />thankfully for us he is batting one thousand <br />at the mercy of Ra's efforts I lie awake <br />sweating what lies ahead <br /> <br />destined to be judged by Allah <br />my friend built a house of stones he pulled from the stream <br />when his wife cheated <br />with a well aimed gun he killed her cat <br />he now lives alone waiting for his moment <br />and his little beauty stands unfinished <br />but nicely liveable <br /> <br /> <br />on mount Olympus Zeus cut off his father's head, <br />married his mother, <br />and claimed command over everything <br /> <br />the Chinese god Yu-huang spent two hundred and twelve million years <br />to become the Jade emperor <br /> <br />Moses climbed mount Sinai <br />and received commandments from god <br />I met my landlord at Wendy's <br />to avoid eviction from a nightmare dream <br /> <br />our father so loved the world <br />he gave us Jesus <br />and we now have christians <br />and people who seem like christians <br />ask us to donate on a regular basis <br />and then they ask for more <br /> <br />as a boy Lord Krishna defeated demons <br />sent by his uncle the king <br />today the pool hall hustlers will swarm <br />and lead me to think I am winning <br />and the joy will blind me <br />while they fleece me of my possessions <br /> <br />if you believe anything <br />you're certainly not alone <br />and when you dare to guess what's in my hand <br />I won't need magic <br />to empty my pockets for your prize<br /><br />Lee Crowell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-poem-2/
