The only problem is, we don't know.
Everything else can be determined.
Good things in life = good god.
Bad things = bad god.
It might not be the real god.
Then we can blame the god in the box.
Its a philosophy game to play god in the box
the unseen cause that movens the spheres
the secret answer that no living man knows
if a man has ears let him hear:
its music that issues from god-in-the-box.
Its a dilittante's game to play god in the box
he shows you some colors that move you to paint
a canvas. Brilliant they say, and all you respond
'Its art for art's sake. Talk to god-in-the-box! '
Its a novelist's game to play god in the box
you ask them why, and they reply sotto voce
'A character's game is a novelist's choice'
Its a human game, this god-in-the-box
but you ask any one and he says that he's lost.
But even that answer comes from god-in-the-box!

Re: Uriah Hamilton: That sounds like a fashionable thing to say. Are you saying God is an alien?
Why can't god think outside the box if he got out might be eaten by a fox
Solid stuff, though I can't say I quite get the meaning. It's one of those poems that is pleasing to read, just from how it is written, and sometimes that is enough.
And that box is a human heart, it's not madness, it's a philosophic thought that the poet has painted in an unique color.
May not agree with some things written but a good poem nevertheless
Thanks for your comment, Chris Howie. I like to think it's a good poem, but I've had some critical moments where I thought it was too casual, or I didn't know enough about what I meant by the poem. I think it has a good effect, though.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Making god in our image.
