Fragile

How very fragile your God must be
To be threatened by little old me
How very insipid must He be
To be belittled by the likes of me
How very powerless this limitless power
To lose His significance to a mortal like me.

Is it your omnipotent God
Or your impotence
That cannot tolerate my perceived defiance?
Is your God so in need of your protection
So fragile, insecure, poor
That He is in need of a warrior like you?

Why then he is no god at all
But a mere human who cannot permit dissent.

  5. Wow! I so agree with you, Suchita. I too have so many questions to ask these “god-protectors” and their techniques to do the same!

  6. Wow! Lovely poetic lines. A short and sweet poem. God is fine in his haven of peace it is the keepers of God, or warriors who as you say protect him who make him appear fragile. These warriors are blinded by a chimera of ignorance thinking that he needs them for his protection. God must be chortling with mirth at their stupidity.

    1. I would rather He smites them down but then He is not human and more tolerant than the earthly beings.

  8. I like this! Very valid these days. Too many rushing to defend Him when He knows who needs defending better than they do.
