What God Wants

by Alexander Shaumyan — Read all 180 poems by Alexander Shaumyan

God consciousness refers to a heightened awareness of the divine presence and the interconnectedness of all life, often described as a direct experience of the ultimate nature of existence. It is not merely a belief in God, but an experiential understanding that transcends traditional religious frameworks.

What God Wants

A torn mind of a nonbeliever--
That's what God wants--
A transmitter and a receiver--
That's what God wants.

All the bickering and the fighting--
That's what God wants--
To ignite a thought like a lightning--
That's what God wants.

I've searched a thousand faces
Just to see Him--
I've combed a thousand places
Just to feel Him.

Crowds of pompous fools
I endured
Just to find something true
And pure--
That's what God wants.

Lost in vanity and derision,
Lost in labels and hollow divisions
Of the liars whose hearts grew cold.

Authenticity--
That's what God wants--
Electricity--
That's what God wants.

Let the rain disperse all my doubts,
Let me free myself from the crowds,
Let me let myself just to be--
Letting God radiate through me.

Liberation--
This is what God wants,
Celebration--
This is what God wants--
Just to be creative and free,
Just to share God's voice through me.
