There are people I know
Who will say that we are created in “God”s image
And who actually believe
That “God” has four limbs
And a head that grows hair
And finger-skins that peel
When performing demanding tasks
Such as creating worlds.
And though I think that’s kind of silly
And don’t use the term “God” like billions do
And don’t think of a body or gender
Geographically heaven-bound
Playing with pawns of people
And actually giving a ****
I think that maybe
There’s an element of truth in this.
That by mere existence
WE are this Force;
This omni-omni-thing.
WE have created “God”
In the image of ourselves.
