God In Middle Age

By Tony Brown

I believe
God has evolved
to an understanding
of how little 
he in fact
controls — I see

God in Middle Age
relinquishing the historic need
to hold
each of us
too close — I see

chaos descending
for good or
for ill — 

a huge Visage
smiles and 
whistles

“Que Sera, Sera”

  Wow, what a statement…I like this a lot. Many “christians” would be horrified, of course, but you hit the nail on the head to my way of thinking. I could see actually MEMORIZING this poem, and I don’t even know my own poems by heart. God “relinquishing the need to hold each of us too close”…wow…Que sera sera…Wow. You got me with this one!
