God: You Are Hereby, Fired

God never existed don't you
know?
Only fools think it so!
We who write on parchment really 
think...
We, are the gods and goddesses
who created it all, with polls of
glistening ebony, primordial ink!

Oh,how we weep over man's idiotic 
actions.
We squirm like a paramecium
and have visceral reactions.
Some gods we are, aye!
Refuseniks who give a finger
to the Creator in the sky.

I know poets here who know
far better.
Their poetry reflects God's love
in their poems in each letter.
We can play God all we choose.
And if we do?
We are unmitigated fools.
Drunk and lying in self-adoration,
hellish pools.

Arturo Michael Date: 10/10/2019 9:17:00 AM Strong convictions here...Can someone imagine the created greater than the creator...something powerful holds this body up...and keeps order in the universe... an intelligence far beyond our comprehension...

Gershon Wolf Date: 10/10/2019 12:05:00 AM Ha! Nice putdown of those who imagine themselves God... And I read the title differently after I'd read the poem. (Make 'God' a bit of an epithet, and then put the accent on the 'You.' --See what I mean?!) :) gw Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/11/2019 7:22:00 AM JUST MEANT ITS HARD TO GO THROUGH LIFE BEING GOD.NO, DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR SUGGESTION

Robert Lindley Date: 10/8/2019 7:50:00 AM We each should examine why we write, why we seek to communicate with others in poetic verses. If it is to share, learn give and /or inspire--then perhaps we are on the correct path. If it is for self-adoration, perhaps we should consider standing in front of a mirror a few hours a day instead.. A true poet --must--- write--it is in their blood.

I question myself on this all the time. Ego runs loudly in the halls of the Soup~ after all, we are human. A sentence here is a poem? Or 5 sentences? Who are we kidding? Not me. There are writers here. Are they all poets? That is an Existential Question. just me xx
