A God

I found a God in someone else's wallet The size of a paper fold Sometimes it dwells in someone else's pocket And it's too course and hot to hold For it has a true power That could dwarf even the highest tower It can make the brave cower And the righteous to act improper Its true power is amazing It can compel someone to do untoward thing It can persuade and dissuade And can cause things to fade So guard your heart against its luster Sometimes it does not need to glimmer You can't just hold it when you see it shimmer You must wait for your crave to simmer For those who hold it when it's hot Are stuck in the power of its spell For it can cause a soul to rot And one's conscience to dispel
