What God might think….
Posted: May 24, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 CommentWhat (maybe) God (might) think of the world.
“how odd”
thought God –
“ a programme about something
which many of them do not believe to be here”,
and switched to BBC 2
and poured a metaphysical pint of beer.
“Hmmm …a curious mix of sceptics
and the very devout…
and that young man, Vine?
whilst hardly divine, certainly seems devoted;
wonder how the punters voted?”
and so sat waiting , for a sign.
“That’s me,
on the TV –
all,
and nothing at all,
beginning and end,
a blessing, a curse,
and sometimes – in my name – (which is?)
something infinitely worse.
Bible
Libel
Koran
Ashram
Hotel room reading
and sometimes the trash can.
Prayers, prayers and more prayers,
heretics
and holy folk
eternally splitting hairs.”
And so sat back, and wept a little, for such cares.
“ News? I’ve heard it all before.
Ought to show them the eternal door!
Always fretting over the Great Question :
Oh! Why, oh why?
Well, I’m not waiting
on all your debating.
The only advice I can give
humankind,
whether I may be,
do or do not live, is,
that you would be wise to keep me in mind.”
And so sat up, and flipped channels to Sky.
