i am

i am
therefore is god
rene you sly
old dog
don’t you know
can’t you see
i am many
things
which are not
white unicorns
santa claus
green eyed monsters
peace on earth…

i am-
but where is god
in my soul
asleep
forget about
the children dying
the gunfire
never
ending
the empty bellies
hanging
just hanging
out

i’d sleep too
if
i were god
