God Invented Dirt!


God invented dirt,
man invented soap.
See the difference?
God invented valleys and grass,
man invented cities.
Man invented religion,
God invented church.
There are no similarities.
God invented a simple organic rock
called "the moon,"
or "Luna" as it were.
The beauty of this rock is its sole purpose -
to reflect sunlight from
the other side of the world.
Man,
on the other hand
invented the lightbulb.
Perhaps night time truly is
for sleep.
God invented water -
chemically pure.
Man - made pepsi.
God invented sex, why should you be ashamed? Man invented pornography, get your head out of books. Through the process of materization
God invented alcohol
by the fermenting of fruits,
ever taste a Lambic beer?
It’s called
"spontaneous fermentation"
when airborne yeast
interact with the sugars
in apples and pears.
THAT’s RIGHT!
God invented Beer!
Man invented Bud Lite.
Can you yet see the difference?
Happiness,
God invented happiness and
food
and plenty.
Man invented rules.
Go ahead, be miserable.
I’m having a beer with my God.

enjoy your beer with God

and buy him one from me, cheers, but sorry, I won't be joining you. I'll be having several beers with some fine friends who also create wonderful things and ideas, who actively, daily, counteract the ugly stupid things done by other men, not content to wait for God or his influence to intervene. It's been 2000 years. cheers, Jess

Thanx for Reminding Me

On reflection, I credit/debit God with the good, the bad ... and all the ugly. That way we humans don't have to be responsible. For anything. Fanciful regards, Chuckles PS: I like your placement on the page.

ahhh

perhaps you missed my point ;) The poem in its entirety essentially places responsibility for all the things we think are good, but in fact are artificial and detrimental, squarely on man. :) Mark

wrote a story about God and called him Joy. Joy had this sort of family and the first of Joy's offspring I called Creativity :-) I think I'll stop right here lol I like your poem very much Mark, thanks Mark L

i

wonder if Christ really wouldn't enjoy jello, though? you know? despite the artifical sweeteners? i'm underestimating him here. you have a prose-like tone in this poem which suits it very well, the dichotomy of manmade/God created things and the destruction which ensues as soon as man puts his foul little hands on anything. i like the message of this poem and agree with you.
