You Are Not God

But if you are not God, then who are you?

You are not God.

You are not creator.

You are not destroyer.

You are angry.

You are vile.

You are neither savior,

Nor are you judge.

You are not God.

You are not Wisdom.

You did not impart.

You did not take away.

You are rash.

You are unthinking.

You are neither patient,

Nor are you changing.

You are not Wisdom.

You are not Love.

You cannot see.

You cannot feel.

You have never waited.

You have never cried.

You have never felt warmth,

Not have you smiled.

You are not Love.

You are not Life.

You do not dance.

You do not sing.

You hate.

You lie.

You do not open your eyes.

You reek of abandon.

You are not Life.

But you are me.

You are neither God.

Nor are you Wisdom.

You are not Love.

You are not Life.

But you are me.

I am myself.

And I am here.

I had a feeling that this was going to turn out to be about the narrator. :D And I like the twist. But it's rather self-depreciating. I think the fourth stanza is my favorite. Even though it is dark (and hey, I love the dark stuff), I absolutely adore the concept and how you used it.

Wonderful, wonderful work! :)

You write well friend.

Far from the world of rejections, we are ready to help maximum people get published, as an incentive to them and also a way for our small team to feel pleased about doing what they wish to, that is help those who have a passion for writing.
I do suggest you submit a couple of your best poems to Golden Apple Ezine. We'll certainly publish you for issue 3 in January 2011 if you are interested to submit on any theme.
We are looking for and considering submissions right now for a special December issue too on Christmas.

Regards,
Golden Apple Ezine Team
