Gravities Poem by shimon weinroth

doubt starts with beliefs,
there must be more
than we see, around or beyond,
inciting imaginations that spur,

so much depends on knowing,
believing is another story
a doubting of what we know,
searching for more than greets the eye

unsatisfied, man created god
better than his image.
more generous he made him
taller, immortal and omnipotent

came to trust his illusion
more than his existence,
the act of godding had a life
of its own, and god reciprocated,

by making man in his image
smaller and mortal,
and woman less than man
but better equipped,

to suffer the babblings of both
