A billion dollar structure to worship
An invisible God.
Why there are a billion persons 
Who go to bed hungry.
This God in whose image we were all...

I-Thou


I sit

In a coffee-house

As I so often do,

Alone,

But never

Left alone


Sitting anonymously

In the warming crowd

Disappearing

In a favorite

Stuffed oversized

Chair

As if hiding

In a peaceful 

Winter cloud.


I peer

Outward

Smiling

Inwardly

With my

Body...

And a sacred...

like the calm before the storm:

like glittering veins of fool's gold,

a mirage beneath the desert sun:

friendship, camaraderie,

only politics-deep,

only religion-deep....

It was a cool…gloomy…
Rainy morning:

“Teacher, where did God come from?”
“Before the beginning; I believe.”
“Where was that?”
“Everywhere…”
“Oh…thanks teacher.”
“Wow…thank you, my child.”

The sun came out…

Religion is
power,
control,
 nothing
more.
Talking to
God.
Great power!
In the
name of
God.
Power to
control.
Power to
build.
Great cathedrals.
Power to
destroy.
Populations
eradicated.
Control the
masses.
Subjugation.
Submission.
Down on
your knees.
Eyes open.
Life to live.
Death, 
ceasing to exist.
Fear,
death, oblivion.
Great Fear.
No concern,
life after death.
Great...

Life's to pretty, love, sentiment.
Feeds on hatred, his human host,
He forecloses souls, waives the rent.

He disects hearts like a...

before a...

And everywhere on the ground

To me, God was...

bouncing through -

wild, verdant hills,

Imperishable Trees,

all down the Valley,

Motion in Rest....

When
they come,
what will
they see?
Organics,
animals.
A world
full of animals.
Dirty messy,
animals.
Animals
steeped in 
instincts, 
controlling.
Animals fighting.
Pecking order,
fighting for
power, control.
War, 
eons of
war, killing 
on an 
unimaginative 
scale. 
Millions 
upon millions...

Born in suffering, to Wisdom,

She stops, to look back,

Her bad Karma to avoid....
