GOD IS GOODNESS

                    Imagine this: a God beyond the sky
                    Who guides and guards us humans here below,
                   Just as from in our cradles, looking high,
                   We saw a smiling parent who’d bestow
                   The nourishment and succor we desired,
                   Protecting us from terrors and from harm,
                   Providing us with all that we required,
                   Relieving us of every care and qualm.
                   Is God but this—a childhood fantasy
                   Extrapolated from our memories
                   Diverting us from whom we ought to be:
                   The source of our responsibilities?
                        Yes, God is human good personified,
                        Which it’s our highest mission to provide.
