Omnipresent
Also published on the Another North website June 2019
Hear me; the long lost voice of eve,That first sinner – tricked into seeingExactly what is was; Man wanted hidden. Inside- inaugural flame; essence of lifeThe ability to grow or destroy, more than that treeJust with the knowledge that lies within. After all; its an inelegant God that leaves his messLying around- for anybody to findSprawled. Unguarded.Like we are now on earth. Babies with no stairgate,Left at the top of steep cliffs. TrustingBut still falling. Then. You turn around and tell usThat what we did was wrong – when reallyYou knew all along we would eat the fruit. Planned it. Omniscient my arse – Omnipotence wont harness my penchant for white liesYour tales of hell wont halt me either.No apologies. A life of hard work for the man of the story – Still getting to try for love and glory in other ways.While for us – a life of pain.Enflamed loins never quite quenched – Blood thickened insides for male seed to plant itself; grow into its own Eden.And then. A roadmap of stretchmarks,Cuts into swollen belly – only to be enslaved by your own creationOr if not. No progeny,Not able to build in a flameless churchBurning of a different kind in a more northerly temple. And. Your books talk to us of a boundless loveOmnibenevolent.Self righteous Cunt.But that’s you really- expecting and expectantWhile us awaiting miracles – hopelessly hoping for heaven. Does it not count that I know the lords prayer of by heart? You Father, you aren’t in heaven,And there is no name that could be holy...Your Kingdom is done, our will Will comeOnly on Earth – no heaven.Give me this day – just enough breadAnd forgive other’s their trespasses,Because really its You who trespasses against us!You – who lead us into first temptation,Delivering us directly into evil.For now this is our kingdom,No power. No glory. Just lingering discontent – forever and everOmnipresent.
