God Poem by Paul Frederick

If God is who He is
I am who I am
The world is a strange place
Lives humdrum

Are you a beast of burden
Or a flock of sheep
Do not go hungry
Or do weep

If He is the Creator
Of all we do and say
Why must we suffer
Knowing one way

The Devil is Your enemy
His Soul so damned to keep
Are you a blaspheming idiot
Six feet deep

Is Jesus your savior
A boy about town
In the murky waters
Everyone did drown

Who is the Buddha
Wise as he was
To escape God
And the gaping jaws

Take two and two to Heaven
Peace be upon us
Meet you for religious service
At the attendant class

No one goes unscathed
Across the ocean wide
No one but endeavor
To swim into the tide

Maybe you be Muhammed
Seeing as he saw
A field of open terror
My sympathies to knaw

No one escapes the just One
A boy to ignore
A wealthy reward
forever more

I will go to Hell
If I save guffaw
Knowing nothing but riddles
With-held from the Door

Someone's obsessed with virgins
With plans of evil pass
To shutter my walking peace
With make believe glass

God I pray to You
The Only Way above
God of tame below
Plentitude we have.
