ABout God

About God

By David N. Donihue


Respected for his inventions

Feared in response to his documents

Loved in response to a hatred of the world

Denied in response to a hatred of the world


Praised so the vocalist may trust in 

something other than himself

Spited so the scribe can believe 

nothing is stronger than he

Sought after for emotional stability

Blamed for the actions of the emotionally unstable

Tested by those too fearful to measure 

themselves


Advocated by those looking to 

rebrand themselves with someone else’s purity

Desired by all in the heart 

yet admitted to by just a fraction


His hands stretch down through empty skies

Touching those who allow it

Caressing those who refuse 

to be made fools of by feeling it

And as his fingertips tingle with 

yearning for those who He created

He screams when we feel pain

He smiles when we feel pleasure

He feels love when we receive him

And we feel at home, when we allow 

Him to receive us


I have felt his arms late at night

I have felt his breath in the morning

His presence can be felt amongst 

the rumblings of man

It moves through like molecules on 

a mission


Like energy thrashing the air

And as you stand in the valley 

of the shadow of depth

You see nothing but evil

You feel nothing but reactions

But then as you turn away 

from the analysis of the 

maddened room


And stop battling the misprojected 

frustrations of the men who expect 

the world to be as pure as He who

created it


And mindlessly turn from their 

screeching and your reactions

And just feel his breath

His presence


The lack of words are the 

wisest ones you will ever hear

And the emotion that runs tandem, 

is reason enough to love in return
