The Trilogy Of Duplicity Poem by Tom Higgins

The Trilogy Of Duplicity



The god of Moses and Abraham is now divided into three,
not Father, Son and Holy Ghost as was taught to little old me.
But because Muslim, Christian and Jewish men have got it into their heads,
that the deity belongs to them, despite the common threads.

And so it seems the spread of hate will drive our destiny and fate,
for it is easier for the lazy mind to be told what to think and so remain blind,
than to question, just a wee, how one god, can become three?
Or even how, if everything that is must have a maker,
did their god come to be?
Perhaps some universal master baker?

You will like Tim Minchin's song The Good Book. There are a couple more that might not make it past the PH censor as well! I am a recovered catholic myself. Guilt free! Good write.
