GOD IS A POET



By his spoken words

He brought to light

This Marvelous world

By his spoken words

He created day and night

Oh! God is poet


"Let's make man in our image"

He's the master of imagery

He speaks in poetry language

He's the king of poetry


He calls himself the light

Oh! That's pure metaphor

He claims to have all mights

But that's no hyperbole

He is mightily great

That he needs not to exaggerate


He says his words are like fire

He's the master of simile

His name is above all, higher

He's truly the master of poetry


A man after my heart

A synecdoche to David

Rivers and seas, he tears apart

He versifie poetry indeed


"Go say to Pharaoh

That I am that I am

Orders he lets my people go"

Pharaoh almost said No

But God's poetry made him calm


"I am the alpha and the omega"

Imagery embracing symbolism

"I am also a consuming fire"

He refuses to use euphemism


"You must die to live"

Here he speaks of eternal life

"And you must live to die"

Here he speaks of the earthly life

God is the master of paradox


In the beginning was the word

And the word was with God

And the world was God

Before Abraham was his son

Give out to the master of paradox


"If men refuse to praise

I will from these stones raise

Great men that will praise"

Wow! Personification in action

Show me another poet greater

Than the alpha and omega


"Before you were born

I have already formed

thee even right in the womb

What a marvelous inspiration

God is simply poetry in action


He's called the unchangeable changer

That sounds like an oxymoron

Creatures tend to play the moron

When they dare to dare the maker


Can the clay question the potter?

He asks a rhetorical question

Creatures questioning the creator

May just be ironical


He speaks his words in lines

His thoughts are well versed

Give it out to the poet so divine

His poetic words are not rehearsed


From the start he knows the future

He teases men with his wonders

He must have a sense of humor

He makes men to live happily after
