Too Odd to Be God



Some people have God all figured out
Explaining painstakingly
But whoever they are talking about
Sounds too odd to be God to me

Squaring the circle again
Angels rounding the head of a pin
Dance to the question how many
May we triangulate now if any

I wonder if God understands
What is superimposed on the soul
By dead hands and their demands
These oddities of systems of control

God would not be an oddity
Certainly not a commodity
Though some of the godly would not agree
Oddly enough God is free

Whoever whatever he or she
Or it may be or maybe not
Maybe God may not be what
They thought he or she or it ought to be

And so in their own image they
Created their own to get their way
Let them or you get thrown out
With the real God out in reality

I never mind what some people say
Threw myself out anyway
But whoever they are talking about
Sounds too odd to be God to me

The only God I know of
Who knows of me goes by the name of Love

We all have ideas on God. To me, the entity is vague and spiritual. I can see it going by the name of Love.

Thank God you figured him out and that he is odd. Love is all there is, I imagine with the Beatles.
