In an uncertain world
created to be that way
by which I mean with options
ie. the blessing and the curse -
because let's face it
every war ever fought
was a choice,
9/11 was a choice,
so was the Holocaust
so was the pandemic
so is climate change -
there is one thing
of which I am certain :
If you ever did appear
and I mean obviously
unequivocally
unquestionably
undeniably
(I'm trying to imagine
what that might look like
in an age of smartphones
and virtual reality
a burning bush
wouldn't hack it)
some would probably accept
it was really you, the Creator,
the Almighty, the Ineffable,
but most would just shrug
and dismiss you and your followers
as another wacky internet
Q-Anon-like cult,
but don't get me wrong
I have nothing personal
against god, it's just
the way things here
have been set up
a lot of us are by now
sort of addicted to freedom
and honestly if you had to choose
between a life of questions
and having all the answers
between change and permanence
between determined defiance
and robotic obedience
who in their right mind
would choose the latter?
