The Death of God

The Death of God ;

-

The ignored, ( ignorant ), malevolent god

spat flame and fury

incandescent with rage

into the dreams of mortals

     the damned and deranged /

                                               depraved

-

see and feel the truth of Life

of Love of Death,

-

     must I suffer alone

must I be omnipotent, alone

                 omniscient, alone

                   impotent,

( in silent mocking company, ) alone

-

must I watch the disintegration

     of man and humanity

must I weep openly /

                               / thunderbolt tears

exploding through galaxy's eyes

-

     must I be the only one with knowledge/

                                                              / Gnosis, 

-

-

     must I f*****g be

I'm reading your snippy missive as being what God must be saying, feeling impotent Himself at times, possibly fighting off feelings of rejection with so many millions that regularly curse & blame Him for all the evil in the world --> primarily the result of choices humans make --> yet we'd surely blast ole God up the ying-yang if He didn't let us have our treasured free will, right? Humans are so pathetic, it's a wonder God is as generous as He is *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

PS, I never noticed that you & Noodle have a similar style of using spaces & dots & parenthesis & other ways to grab your readers spatially . . . until I read his review just now!

haha, Margie, me and Einstein are brothers in alms, cept he's a Trump supporter and I hate politics, lol, which amounts to the same thing, , blasting ole God up the yin tang was the exact gravitas I was going for, love yer style, Margie, xx

passionate and super emotive Gram .. we are mortal .. God can take the bruising we give out .. it is frustrating to watch occurrences both in Nature and our own brand of evil .. and feel helpless .. Faith takes over, I think, simply because our ways are not God's ways and there is mystery where Science leaves off .. with Covid and turmoil and unrest the frustrations and angst prosper and Faith wanes .. love the form you use ... love the spaces and dashes .. just my cup of tea... emotive, powerful and hits hard .. good stuff says i! really good stuff

hey, E, good to hear from you, aye I was trying to encapsulate and invoke a sense of humour and maybe desperation, and maybe if God spent a mile, walking in our shoes, haha, always appreciate your fine mind, and the poetic slant of your observations, hope you are keeping well,

I am blessed .. ) cases for several weeks now in my County .. very rural and sparsely populated certainly has a lot to do with that; plus i hate "going to town" ... only do so in need. i wish you well too gram!

That was a strong draft. Leaves a reader reeling. Here is a concept at war with itself and with all it has conceptualized. Including me.

Thanks for sharing..I think.

[gram linski]

haha, thanks for reading, Delmar, I think, lol, the concepts and words were at war with themselves, yes, seriously in this day and age, appreciate, your time and insight,

I think there are two of us on that vantage point, gram...
and the deterioration is hard to watch...
