B******s of God

thank you for getting this far ... you have not become offended in the title ..please give me your input on any and all constructive criticism .. :) as you always do

B******s of God

i was born this way. 

"You may plagiarize Me if you please." 

He said ... while

all of mankind saying: "but

              liters of rain are dropping               

turtle-like green shells ............

                      mapping breaches.

the breaches have made us  so

You  reigning

                       Your rain dropping

whole, quarter, half and whole dropping on all

plagiarize me green

green and sprouting shoots ... sprout and shoot ......."

                                              Then the

                                                           troubles 

                                                                             came.

with water

smooth grinding pebble stone all pretty in fall colors

racked in slings  ... quarter water a drop

begins admission

                                contrition

waking beached craft; whole whales

                                               drafting  excuses 

b******s of God

witches okra .... sly wicked smoke to hide in   (again He says)                                    

"Plagiarize Me                                                     

                          if you please

when I say

                             Let it be and

Come to Me"

There is amazing power in your words. Plagiarizing the green of the earth and all things we were taught....copying what we have seen and yet not making it quite the way it was intended. Of course, in order to really "get" what you are saying, a person must believe in what religion has taught. Not sure I have ever bought into it all....and yet the intensity with which you wrote this makes me sit up and take notice. A unique write to say the very least. Lydi**

thank you Lydi! very very much ... yes believing is important ..i suspect the beliefs of an atheist would not have a light to turn on in the darkness ..but an agnostic might .. i think the common threads of the major religions would allow for understanding ..however, in my limited reading , only one offers an answer to our inability to fulfill any of the religions rules or paths ;) i take your comments to heart and tell you again that i really appreciate them!

Good reads always rate a second visit, and I love to make use of the word "and," in sentences ... And so: Very inspiring piece of well executed (not killed but written) Poetry here Mr. Noodle with a lot goin' wid his noggin ... Also, enjoyed Cohen's singing of "Praise Yah that does indicate, not just a priestly lineage on his part, but, somewhere along the line, a cantor ... Shabbat Shalom! ...

thanks so much Marv! deeply appreciated the second visit. Cohen's voice sweeps me away no matter the song but that one is a block buster and, i agree, shows a deep connection for him ..
Gut Shabbes my friend! ;) (i googled it)

Einstein,

[Einstein Noodle]

The breaches stanza held me transfixed for a moment. Reigning rain dropping. Excellent word play. You are a...genius!

[Einstein Noodle]

well ... your comments make me smile sir! genius??? i have enough to stave off Alzheimer's by doing crossword puzzles .. but i do not lessen your encouraging review .. and am grateful for you taking time to read and share you comments .. this one is about as abstract as my true "voice" gets .. and is, as a result, one of my favorites if we are allowed that. ;) luv and peace and joy always!

I have my favorites too. 'Dan's Journey' for word puzzles.

I can hear this powerful piece done as a play on stage.
I see the dichotomies created here. Perhaps the theory of the watchmaker against evolution. I am not a creationist by temprament or belief but I see and understand the way that arguement should take place and theory should be tested. As it is in this remarkable, erudite 'play'.
I also feel that anyone who is offended by the title is a long way from understanding. Perhaps further than the rest of us.

[Einstein Noodle]

wow! thank you Ken! this is pretty abstract and actually the way i like to write the most .. i am gratified you see the depth that i do intend in this one .. and i agree 100% with you about the argument for creation being engaged ..for most schools of thought in American schools it is completely swept aside as having any weight at all ...one of the reasons that i am intrigued by the sciences is that they come to a point of mystery and leave off for theologians and mystics .. nice to meet you once again in my morning ..it must be late afternoon in the Highlands eh!?

Midday my friend on a cold and snowy morning. As I say I am more one for observed understanding. read moreMidday my friend on a cold and snowy morning. As I say I am more one for observed understanding.
But that is not to say I am not fascinated by the history of faith. And although it seems ironic the history of creationism. The one thing I am not happy with is evangelism from either or any source.

This is in my book at least is something of an incredibly powerful and else-wise cerebral write. Damn wish I had written it myself though. Nice to see & hear the Master on this site too............All Good Things as always my fine literary friend..........N

[Einstein Noodle]

glad you like it Neville .. thank you .. i get stuck in my noodle quite often ..not sure that is always a good thing ..that's pretty high praise that you wish you had written it ..thank you again sir ..so very much!

[Neville]

It was sincerely meant my friend................N

Seems we're all bastardized versions of our God, whichever one we choose to believe in, nicely composed leaving much food for thought.

[Einstein Noodle]

Paloma!! thank you so much!! yes we are ... :} but our desire to move closer to God's love is (for me) the important thing ..if we are honest (as you are) we can eke out pieces of truth :)) thanks again for taking time and for reviewing .. love and peace

All this time.....she left because...I needed to be fathered. I know this isn't about me....but it is :)

[Einstein Noodle]

Totally lost me on this ditty. Valentine

[Einstein Noodle]

i am so glad you stopped to read this one Valentine ..and that the title did not stop you .. it is a pretty free expression ...hoping to spark images and feelings in the reading ... if you catch that it is a bit of conversation with God and man it might help ..thank you very much for taking time and for your comments ..always important to me :)

This was quite beautiful. " There is a crack in everything God has made" (Ralph Waldo Emerson) "There is a crack in everything,that's how the light gets in" (Leonard Cohen from Anthem)...the words need not plagiarize...if one believes in the perennial philosophy so often championed by Aldous Huxley and Carl Jung...perhaps the truth just grows new shoots from the same old roots...from the same old earth that keeps turning. I enjoyed the read.

[Einstein Noodle]

what fantastic quotes sir! from such a diverse field .. i will definitely be stopping by to get to know you better ..thank you for finding this one .. yes ..Truth is! .. we are left to sort things out are we not!? and yes ..same old earth ... gods with human attributes would certainly be so very bored ..so the Greeks and Romans gave them a sense of humor and testy personalities ;) thank you again for taking time Fabian!
