Forget About It
I asked God (That who abides within the within of me -
'me' being only this transient construct of ego/self}
I asked about an upcoming colonoscopy outcome.
I have had colon cancer, so naturally was feeling
a bit leery of the looming procedure.
God said -
“Forget about it.”
Then I got to fretting about other stuff.
I asked why there was so much suffering in the world?
He replied - “Forget about it!”
I could not let the worry go, so I asked,
will mankind destroy itself soon or eventually?
He simply said -“Forget about it.”
I kept on fretting and asked if all living things have a soul?
Again he just exclaimed – “Forget about it.”
I pondered why He spoke to me
in a New York Italian accent,
but some things are just too imponderable.
So I gave up on trying to rule the world.
