A universe like this

I can only speak

of course

about my own

burning bush,

which blazed briefly

but brightly

as I searched

for ultimate truth

and genuflected

most politely 

until I realised

that God if just

would never 

have acted thus. 

All the stories 

and histories

serve to imprison

and punish 

without blinking

the revisionism 

of the thinking

and cry schism 

but in the end

our jailers are

always only us. 

I don't blame

a jealous God,

for such

was always 

part invention,

mostly fraud,

and I remain

convinced the

God of justice

would never  

have designed 

a universe like this.
