Does God feel?
I think God is deaf and blind
But, God is not dumb
I thought He couldn’t feel
I thought He had no feelings
He gave away all his senses
He’s a raving magician
Waving his wand making orbits
Birthing stars without sperm
Destroying lives in every galaxy
Does he care about this lonely planet?
He gave His eyes to behold Him
He gave bees and us eyes to spy
He gave His ears to hear the Good News
Elephants have ears better than ours
He gave his nose to remember His scent
Pigs can root out truffles better
He gave us tongues for bittersweet notes
Gourmands say they taste a symphony
He gave us nerves to feel those we hate
But, we all feel when given a hug
The last of his gifts is also a curse
He gave us a mind to know madness
Imagine billions of souls as a planet’s brain
Choosing suicide versus love
His Son chose sacrifice than power
Leaving His forgiveness for us to judge
Odin gave up his eye for foresight
But, He gave up all senses and His Son
His brain he entrusted to us
All His madness and sensibility
He entrusted his body called Earth to us
His mind He divorced in billions of us
Fractured, He’s still hoping for a family
Forgiveness for His transgression
Say loneliness drove Him to it
Blindly seeking an embrace
Granting us a brain like a God
Fighting entropy like a sun
For the little ones on a planet
With limbs still to grow
Like fists in the universe
Punching God
Proclaiming glory
Giving Him eyes
Giving Him ears
To suffer with us
