A cirrus has circular motion
a pond is circular too
and ripples in the cosmic ocean
reflect what we say and do

Man in his infinite wisdom
knowing that God is love
holds for his ego kingdom
God, not in but above

killed my Buddha, killed my Christ
Killed my karma, paid the price

For 27 years I've carried the welt
Wie klein ist Ihre Welt?

I really like the first stanza....it's flow and meanings.

The second stanza, last 2 lines, however threw me.  Could you explain?

Man holds ego over God? Am I close?

Know Jesus, Know Peace
No Jesus, No Peace

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD

In classic psych. there is the id (super-conscious or pure unconscious)
and the ego (consciousness that is self)
in this poem
I make reference to this flawed consciousness as having made
a God that is love and conveys to us that love is most important,
however thru its inability to love refuses to allow itself to believe
it can be that God, a paradox and catch twenty-two.
The poem, is itself a Rorschach of Western religion.

Thanks for explaining that! Makes much more sense now.
