G. O. D.

      Good Orderly Direction may not be
      The God most soulful people yearn to see,
      Who’d rather have their lord personified,
      A cosmic friend in whom they can confide,
      A kingly comforter who may sustain
      And save them from their suffering and pain,
      A Father/Mother figure up above,
      A bounteous, endless, hallowed source of love.

      Instead, what even science now admits
      (Cosmologists who exercise their wits
      To comprehend the universal laws),
      Is that there does exist a primal cause,
      A Source implicit with what may unfold—
      And that’s the truest story ever told.
