INDECENCY

        
      Furthermore, what makes us believe that any God secure 
      In His/Her/Its power would want/need anyone’s belief?
      God the Father and God the Mother, i guess, would be glad
      To realise that their children were committing their own
      Creative divine screw-ups towards their self-awareness.

      God's watching Eye is the divinity within the self
      Too busy with the distractions of its own dense dreaming
      To recall that what is ‘below’ reflects what is ‘above’
      In an active membership in the family of God.
      God isn’t there or not there but here as much as we dare
      To become God.

                                                            i don't believe in belief’s
      Glass-temples whose clubbers tend to smash stones through others’ walls
      To prove their own, so keeping ‘us’ not-them and ‘them’ not-us.

      And God the Father and God the Mother must smile and shake
      Their heads in bemusement at such adolescent antics
      That are all as exhausting as owning a house you have
      To keep from falling down:   it demands daily maintenance
      That hardens into further numbing habits of blind faith.
