if I were God
I'd like to think I'd be
a lot sweeter about things
less the tyrant who demands
total obedience and no questions brooked
lest I plummet in grace
we have complete liability for our acts
and it is on us to judge and repent of ourselves
and God lifts not a finger but to enforce the penalty
I love consciousness so I had better swallow my pride
if I want to live forever
even knowing I am the least of men has a certain arrogance
to it that disqualifies me from grace
that comes only when it is not so selfishly desired
oh One is this how we accept mercy as
a visage of judgment? as if it were possible for any of us to know...
if I were God
I wouldn't be this sad soul projecting his meek desires
on the vast processes of creation
that are the very heartbeat of Life itself...
one day I hope to be wise...and strong...and brave enough
to understand I am always part of the God I wish to join...
