Man And God (2)



A creation, he has become a creator himself.
Now he challenges his Creator to a duel. And
It's the kind the name and procedure of which,
He can't "create" realizing that the "other party"
Is literally "out of sight."
"When I created you," says the Creator," I purposely
Did not make you "big" like the whale and the elephant.
I have my reasons why I did not give these creatures
A brain with a dimension and kind, like yours. And, I give
Myself a lot of "kudos" for that, because they are
Living and thriving exactly where I created them.
And you? Space, your last frontier? Or the heavens?
By the way, if you "dislocate" them, "watch out"
For yourself as you "watch over" them.
Remember, I am always "watching over" you ever since
"That blessed day" in Eden. And lastly, listen:
I can see you, but you cannot see me. And, I have
A name for anything and everything great and small.
I have one for you, and it is this: my favorite."
Now, with all your heart, can you say, AMEN?"
