Conscience of a God

Looking back on life, as I go forward tripping over, what’s missing, Not love or loss, a divine exclusive experience, Contentment mere blissful contentment baby suckling at mother’s teats, Blind by ignorance now I see it, aloof of desire, in symbiotic willfulness Bridging a song, with choral angels invisible transcendence, threads of virtuosity When reason feels the suns surface, reason will be sustained, Infinite vacuums of containment, everything else in nothingness of space, Immeasurable incomprehension supplied on tap, to our basic intelligence Surreal questionable answers only to be found, they made no mistakes, Impotence feeding omnipotence, omnipresence giving out rain checks Cooling off periods never happen, a torrent of ice comets burnt them away, Spare a thought for the mindful, let the human burden, carry that cross Give them one atom, and our conscience everything else belongs to the gods.

I heard it once said that the greatest trick the devil perpetrated was to convince man that God does not exist. The result is that man placed himself upon the throne. We can see how well that had worked out for us. Another thought provoking piece. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much Richard, this one just uses god’s as metaphor, completely non religious, In my school days it was beaten into us that god does exist and loved us all, very surreal indeed, I’m agnostic now, see how that turned out, I never discount god outright, just ask questions that I would not dare ask in the past, I totally respect all peaceful people, faithful or faithless cheers David
