God for Most

A Poem by RFDIII

My view of god.

God for most; A bountiful host

Whom giveth and taketh away.

I suppose my views are not unlike most

of which, god give us life, to play.

But god - what is god?

A man in the sky?

Omniscient, gilt shod?

Not a wonder, nor “why?”

Nay god is but god

- A lingering force

of all which we cast

our lives of remorse.

God is no man, all knowing, on high.

God is the water

the fire

the sky.

God is the maker of all this much mirth.

God is the aether

the nether

the earth.

God is the flowing unbreakable veil.

God is the space

of which we prevail.

God is but one

phantasmagorical sum.

God is the web

of which we’re all spun.

God has no care - to count or to choose

God has no will - to win or to lose

God is a canvas we paint with our life.

God is our cosmos - inertia and might.

God has no view of

small, lonely lives.

God has no view of

adulterous wives.

God has no view of

Old Saints as they sin.

God has no view of

Your contribution.

God is indifferent

Naught good, Naught bad.

This is the thought

driving timid men mad.

No one to blame for the lives that they’ve made.

No one to blame for the games that they’ve played.

Preposterous!

Humans are simply complex.

Preposterous!

A temptuous god leaves me vexed.

God is the all;

Not watching on earth.

No need to make fall.

No need to guide birth.

God has no tool for making men sin.

No gun to drive hicks to drinking their gin.

Evolution has wrought us

our Power and thought!

We live in our god

intrigued and distraught.

We are a culture, dug deep in his bowels.

Consider the facts; miracles disallowed.

And if we are culture

or cell or

a germ.

I know it’s our goal;

Care more - never squirm.

Strive to make better; more light for our life.

And joyous byproducts; No longer a plight.

Antibodies of I, preserves what does lie.

Antibody, all I, must preserve, always try.

The all is but just as

creations deep cry.

The all is but just as

the naught’s lonesome sigh.

The all is but just as

footprint from a plod.

The all is but just as

our all - which is god.

Author's Note

I believe the Universe is our god. If there is a god past that, there is no certainty that it is, or ever will be aware of us. And why should we care to look past our cosmos - At least for now? Such a beautiful and majestic thing, of which we are all forged. Our makers are stars, and our light comes from one as well. The universe is divine, in and of itself, but not divine like practitioners of a romanic religion would so want to believe.

I use the term to simply define everything, as for me, that is god. I do not believe in afterlife, and I do not believe we must create these fantasies to find spirituality. Many men used to worship the sun. In fact, I think that made more sense than a lot of religions of today as the Sun literally gives us life and the energy to create more. I do not enjoy painting the god or the universe as a deity, but I feel that we should truly overlook our definition of 'god' as a society.

Please enjoy!
