Thank you Maverick for the clarification concerning
the posting of my poem "The Eight-Day Week."
A simple mistake. I sincerely apologize. And what
about the following:


LET'S MAKE A DEAL, GOD!

"He who does not love does not know
God, for God is love." 1 John 4:8

You say you are almighty,
magnanimous and infinite.
You say you are eternal,
all-caring and all-loving...

Let's make a deal, then:

Let me shut my eyes and ears,
let me suspend my intelligence,
and let's assume you are real...
And you listen to this:
For every suffering in the world
(for every child's unanswered prayer,
for every mother's painful torment,
for every father's gut-wrenching sigh
- for every human misery and agony,)
we will subtract a tiny bit
from your loving-kindness;
we will subtract a nanogram
from your alleged infinity;
we will subtract a nanosecond
from your supposed eternity...

And if there is anything of you left
(anything, anything, anything!...)
at the end of this tragic exercise,
I'll accept you as my worthy god...

Yes, let's make a deal, god!...

I am sorry, but this is not the correct location to post poems. The conference room is for board policy discussions only.

I am not sure where your poem would get the best reception. This time I am moving this one to General Religious Discussions.

Please do not start anymore threads in the conference room unless they are related to board policy.
