In My Mind
I have to
For my own sake
Replace the word
God
With the word
Word
Lest anyone think
I am being
Blasphemous
I am not for
The evidence
Is from the Bible
“In the beginning, the Word already existed.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1
And just like the
Other holy book
“The Dictionary”
Definitions are open to
Subjective interpretations
Matters not
The context
Nor content
For it elevates
The power
In the word
Having broader
Connotations
Than the tired old
Indoctrinations
Of too many images
That God is a man
Santa Claus caricature
Sitting on a throne
On a cloud
In heaven
Wherever
The f#@& that is
Giving people cancer
To be thanked later
For curing cancer
Or helping
Sports teams
If enough of the
“Winning” fans
Prayed the best prayers
So, so and so could
Catch, kick, roll, toss
Hit, pass, intercept
The right ball at
The right time
Forgetting that
(“YOU CANNOT
PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER!”
– Jim Morrison
“The Doors”)
Plus, save people from
Automobile accidents or
Plane crashes when,
If that is the case
Prevent the crash from
Happening in the first place
Ooopsie
Help fill military cemeteries
For those who believed
“He” was on “their” side
A key benefit is that it
Increases personal responsibility
In that God/Word
Is everywhere in everything
At all times infinitely forever
Where there is a word / Word
From the tiniest subatomic
Neutrino within a quark
To all of existence itself
No separation whatsoever
From implausible and unlikely
Alphas or omegas
Even wordless thoughts
Are not separate from Word
Regardless of language or religion
Word is the basis for all that is
There is no hierarchy or trinity
Mystery, magic, or manipulation
Just Word
Miraculous and magnificent
Will close with an example
I thank Word for all the blessings in my life
Therefore, what one considers to be blessings
Is made manifest through Word and words
What you have and appreciate is made up of words
All in context and content that suits you
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
