God and the devil

two ideas sharing the same face

fear God and see God

fear the devil and you are the devil

and those who see the face

pure without perishing

are enlightened beyond any

quantifiable condition

so harrying the ideas of God and devil

are like worrying over God or Goddess

when we name we just identify ourselves

each of us One and warring

each one yearning for what the others have

having it ourselves

and the not knowing that

making us want more

there is no more

there's nothing but more

there's all of it all there is

and our squandering

the leak of consequence

into the value of who and what we are

God or Goddess

God or devil
