Make-believe

godliness cast in moulds
to make it tangible
in suspecting crucibles
of human minds

god needs to look like me
not wind, water flowing
to receive His blessings
-soul force divine

clay statues satisfy-
I’ve locked divinity
managed infinity
set to rewind

I cheat the wind outside
knowing that God is in
temples can’t see my sin
-conscience defined
