God is perception,
But perception be NOT reality
Your God, My God, His God, Their God,
All different in their own way.
The God of Kentucky is hardly the God of Malaysia.
This alone proves what I say.
Were God truly universal,
His worship would be no rehearsal.
With each culture getting it wrong
All would believe the same, everlong.
So this is the truth.
God is a state of mind.
He, and indeed, all deities,
Rest in the hearts of man.
Everything else is needless pieties.
Restricting, repressing, regressing, restraining
Our natural desires, the flaming pyres.
What you believe is well and good,
Does not change the way it is.
What is real, what is true,
Is what we know, what we sow.
Whatever one might explain with God,
The laws of our world describe quite nicely.
And if our Truth fulfills the duty.
What need we God for in our modern society?
Can not we take solace in our man-made beauty?
