God
God
God is a metaphor for many an unconscious mind
-a metaphor of the highest ideal we know?
Sadly not. But yes a confusing delusion of the worst kind
where man and beast suffuse in an entangling glow.
God is a frame without a picture in an infinite wall;
You can call it that way and without fear of retribution,
‘cause we invented fear and punishment and the fall
from grace, as main participants of our constitution.
God was for some; a man walking in the sky,
for others; some kind of a belligerent entity,
And for many others; the beautiful sigh
of a soul in search of its own eternity.
God can have many meanings and reasons
depending on the party ruling at the time.
You can, then, follow the flow of generational seasons
and use the metaphor most pleasing to your mind.
God, to me, is none of those things clustered above.
I don’t even call him god, a name so pagan and wild.
God is the wonderful source of universal love
that can always be perceived in the eyes of a child…
