God Having A Boss Above Him Poem by Stephen Bennett The Playjurist

God Having A Boss Above Him



God having a boss above Him, is not a dangerous thought.
If it's true He is not, I mean the He, who we've been
believing in, would be in real fact
still a valid deputy of the bigger realer one,
even though not actually the one
we think we've been thinking about
or have been talking about when we talk.

But the difference is what?
When I speak about you and I, I speak of
the world, and when of the world...
of all space and all time, and when of all this, what
I speak of, is all from His mind, and if it's not really
from His, but from one greater back behind,
for which or for whom He works,
I can think that that's just fine.

Whether what I don't know or
can't see disappears up a sleeve
or drops through a trap door,
what happens to me
is nothing less, nothing more,

and none of this is what the bible is made for.
What we are to know from it about everything
doesn't matter to me or you, and it doesn't matter
about, if what is in it, is false or true. All that all
is... the liar's way of leading us away from
God's true purpose becoming our's too...
so instead of job one, one would instead take up
job two. All that counts is what in our lives
we have been put here to do.

With no string from above moving our hands or heads
no hand up our backs coming in through our coats
we think and do whatever we want waiting while
the endless miracle of earth and space around us just floats.
