God is not an American

 

david bowie said:
“god is an american”
nietzsche said”
“god is dead”
madame blavatsky said
“there is no religion,
higher than truth”
i say:
“truth & religion
are non-compatible”

by the way,
this is not a political poem
or a religious poem

my views (contd.):
a poem is an expression of interest
potentially, entertaining
possibly, thought provoking
usually, annoying
seldom, enjoyable
always, didactic
drivel – essentially

but this poem
is not meant to tell you
what a poem is or isn’t
or what you should think
this is just
some words on a page
possibly, not even a poem
vers libre or not libre
that is not the question

finally,
just to set a few things straight:
god is not an american
god is not even alive so how can he/she/it be dead
truth & religion
should never be mentioned
in the same sentence
ever
& poetry . . .
don’t even breathe that word.
