Poem: "He Is Not A God"

I am not religious.

There is a distance between them and I

an eternity it feels,

I want to close the gap

in this lifetime,

They did this in the same years as me,

They built a god from the same factory.

We are mechanics, and I want a machine.

If he existed, so can I.

I hate being relatable,

but right now I need something to relate to.

Hope grows on the fuel of relating,

gods grow from being unrelatable.

Yet they never were.

Boring. Same old.

Day in day out.

Special isn't a word to describe.

They built machines. They built the mechanics, too.

So make me a mechanic.

Make me a stone mason.

Make me a carpenter.

Make me a scientist.

Make me boring.

Gods are boring

because they did the boring work

Here I am,

flittering about in the ocean

this is not where they exist.

Angels and gods are not friends.

All I need to know.

All that stuck with me,

He is not a god.

I will carry that.

And with that,

I may beat him

because a god is unbeatable

but a human is not

and that is all you need to know.

You can beat him

because he is human.

He is not a god.
