Out of curiosity
I analysed God
Particle by particle
And I realised
The Lowest
Common
Denominator
Was…
…Me
As it was
In you
In them
In me I had
The potential to be
Him who I purportedly
Worshipped
And I could be
The one who slays
In His name
And I had
The freedom
To choose
And for the particle
I possess
I could express
Gratitude
Or discontent
For the particles
They have
And the particle
I was born with
But well before
May not be the same
As the particle
I will die with
And well after

Sonya, this is a very thought provoking poem… So much meaning in the words. I truly admire your creativity, ethics and ideas. I particularly liked the part about being grateful and trying to improve who I am rather than being discontented and envious… Bravo!

Thank you Jalal. Perhaps we shouldn’t even try to understand God.

Greetings,
Thank you for this interesting post.
It is unusual, is it not, how the particle in this world is wrapped up in a self-determining ego, with the power to choose this or that. It’s as if one thing must grow stronger in life so that it becomes the ruling faculty.
All good wishes,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this rather complicated piece of mine. It is true that what we nurture within ourselves will rule us.

Perhaps you’re right the particle may be much better.

Which is what we should strive for. what we leave with should be better that what we came with. Thanks Ranu for your visit and comments.
