THERE MUST BE A GOD OUT THERE
©
Farouk Asvat
There must be a god out
there.
But he doesn't much care
about us.
When he does come down to
earth,
He prefers spending the
summer at the French Riviera
He likes mingling with
topless girls in tangas
He prefers cool martinis
on the rocks
God doesn't talk to
revolutionaries
Or read socialist
magazines
He knows nothing
Of his stepchildren
In the dark continents,
He knows nothing
Of the butchery on his
doorstep
Or in his own backyard in
Bosnia
In the year of Our Lord
2001
He floats about the
universe at warp speed,
Enjoying the wonders of
his creation
Like a kid playing around
with virtual reality,
Not concerned
About the starving kids
down the block
