God Poem by John Vogel

Everybody everywhere has asked the question once or twice
some people spend their entire lives seeking answers and advice
some choose to deny, turn a blind eye, claim it's all in the mind
but then we find when we try to define the mind, we still in a bind
because the mind itself is a mysterious thing, to think is a miracle
to delve deep into the root of thought can be very inspirational
no explanation known for the relation shown tween the mind and brain
what causes thought to flow? who chooses what to know and what to think?

the brain's an amazing thing, but the brain can only process information
the mind behind this operation decides cognitively what we're thinking
taking the pieces of life and arranging them to be what we call reality
but really, is reality all it's cracked up to be? the same for you and me?

no! you see, reality is subjectively realized only by your minds eye
relying upon senses defined by deceptive perceptions and blind lies
our mind tries to define right as we proceed to survive and find a way
in a society insane, our minds are deranged by theological games we play
as we try and pray to find a way to understand the plan laid out by God
distracted by religious teachings, reaching us, leading to an empty cross
beseeching us... believing we are lost, we look for any clues by any man
not realizing the plan we can't understand, the truth is only found within
religion seeks to bind again, but in reality religion tends to separate
denigrating the truth a lie created by fools to perpetuate the hate


When you silent the lies, refuse to buy anyone's 'truth' but look inside
you'll find in the silent mind there exists an omniscient eternal light
Heaven, Hell, Sin and Salvation, the truth beyond words that no-one can speak
revealed to the one who seeks, a glorious revelation, the epitome of reality
delve deep and drink of spiritual things, beyond words, beyond brains capacity
for the mind is awesome indeed and you will ALWAYS find exactly what you seek
So seek inside and you will find, knock on the door and it will open wide
Salvation is yours when you realize you are truly a part of the creators mind
Let reality fade away into the light from which all things are born and die
God and I eternally intertwined, as God sees life vicariously through our eyes
