I Am God, a Must Read

.........,.  I Am God............


Well, if I am God as some poets 
here think,and that they are too,
I need a strong stiff drink!
And by the by, they do too!

Man, good golly,I am in a jam!
That means I have to go to 
Chicago tomorrow!
A city chock full of many sorrows.

Then off to LA, SF, Portland and the 
even once beautiful Seattle.
Clean up the once beautiful streets, 
now filled people, forced to live
Inhumanely, like human cattle!

And, I? To magically remove all
excrement from the streets.
While finding homes for all
and plenty of food to eat!

Hey, I am just a poet,not God as
some dream!
With their brains full of jelly-beans 
and whipping cream.
What's wrong with acknowledging
I am just human?

To assume I am God, there is a 
special place.
With a padded cell, a jacket and oh,
by the way, it's not lined with lace!

I feel that you this is a serious write, but I couldn't help but chuckle at your jabs and punches those who imagine themselves to be God. Very good! Warm wishes, Gershon

We're none of us that great - GOD is my everything and His spirit lives in Christians but I am too great a sinner even though a forgiven one to think I could even resemble the one and only Master, the great I am, (no one can be God - Only HIM) ... Your poems are always amazing... Love you, Gina

Ah, I see things a bit differently. I see us all complete and whole as James the Poet said, we are all talent on loan from God to each other. There is nothing to do to be complete. We all have different talents. I hope you understand that I AM GOD was my experience of poets here who think they are. Glad you are not one. Many in and outside of poetry think they are gods.soupmail coming. Panagiota

I clearly pointed out.I am not God. Some piets here think they are. Ok! Many loons-walk the halls of lock wards thinking they are god, or had Tea with Queen. They exist in their own reality. I am as plain as day and open.not nearly a great poet. Just want to enjoy. Love Panagiota

I really enyoyed writing it. I am glad that one person liked it and replied. You are such a sweetheart. You made my day' totally~ you did. I can erase it but it makes me laff. I don't want to end up in a straight jacket saying I am master of the universe.))))))) Love you, Panagiota
