Everybody Is God
Now of course
As I intimated earlier
The Hindu is therefore saying
Everybody is God
And our theologians get rather worried about that
Because you see the two conceptions of God are different
Our conception is of the boss-man
The king
Theirs is of the cosmic centipede
With the many arms
Who does not have to think
How to make the world
How to make the world
How to make the world
Or rather to act the world
How to make the world
How to make the world
That would be an insufferable
Nuisance
You may think it rather wonderful
When Saint Thomas tries to explain that God is fully aware of everything that happens
And in every detail is willing
Each single vibration
Of any mosquito's wing
But when you really begin to think about it
That approach is intellectual elephantiasis
God heard the embattled nations shout
"God Strafe England" and "God save the King"
God this and God that and God the other thing
"Good God" said God "I’ve got my work cut out.”
