Everybody Is God - Akira the Don, Alan Watts

Now of course

As I intimated earlier

The Hindu is therefore saying

Everybody is God

And our theologians get rather worried about that

Because you see the two conceptions of God are different

Our conception is of the boss-man

The king

Theirs is of the cosmic centipede

With the many arms

Who does not have to think

How to make the world

How to make the world

How to make the world

Or rather to act the world

How to make the world

How to make the world

That would be an insufferable

Nuisance

You may think it rather wonderful

When Saint Thomas tries to explain that God is fully aware of everything that

happens

And in every detail is willing

Each single vibration

Of any mosquito’s wing

But when you really begin to think about it

That approach is intellectual elephantiasis

God heard the embattled nations shout

«God Strafe England» and «God save the King»

God this and God that and God the other thing

«Good God» said God «I've got my work cut out.»
