Am I God? Poem by Paul Butters

Am I God?



I said something profound the other day,
So someone asked me, "Are you God? "
Well, strange as it may seem, I might be!

It's possible, if unlikely, that I'm the Only One;
A Matrix Hero if you like,
That Everything Else is but a figment from my Super Id:
Perish the thought.

Yet I've precious little power
In this world around me now.
I'm just as helpless
As in my dreams.

I'm Not the God Religious folk talk of:
Omnipotence does not spring here.
Dare I suggest, though,
That God isn't all He's cracked up to be?

I've said before, maybe we All are part of God:
His eyes, ears and touch.

But what IS God?
I have to ask.
We each define Him (or Her, or It)
In our own way.

There must be higher powers
Of some sort
And Star Wars has its "Force".

All things are Relative
And without end
So find your "God"
And make your choice.

Define your God
In any way you can.
But remember
It's not your belief in God that counts,
It's your belief in GOOD.
