| Now of course
|
| As I intimated earlier
|
| The Hindu is therefore saying
|
| Everybody is God
|
| And our theologians get rather worried about that
|
| Because you see the two conceptions of God are different
|
| Our conception is of the boss-man
|
| The king
|
| Theirs is of the cosmic centipede
|
| With the many arms
|
| Who does not have to think
|
| How to make the world
|
| How to make the world
|
| How to make the world
|
| Or rather to act the world
|
| How to make the world
|
| How to make the world
|
| That would be an insufferable
|
| Nuisance
|
| You may think it rather wonderful
|
| When Saint Thomas tries to explain that God is fully aware of everything that
|
| happens
|
| And in every detail is willing
|
| Each single vibration
|
| Of any mosquito’s wing
|
| But when you really begin to think about it
|
| That approach is intellectual elephantiasis
|
| God heard the embattled nations shout
|
| «God Strafe England» and «God save the King»
|
| God this and God that and God the other thing
|
| «Good God» said God «I've got my work cut out.» |
