One god is two too many
I know this as plain as the
nose on my face. One god
spawns godlets endlessly
repeating the pattern
time and again
implanting them
in new arrivals
until we blend in an
emergent democracy
where everyone speaks
at once but no-one
listens – claiming theirs
is the one true god.
True to what I say, the
original pattern? Or the
equally insane epithet
of I thought of it first?
Out there, somewhere,
this crowded conscience
is thinking of me, so I know
what every god knows,
that even one god is still
two too many.
