Everybody Is God

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."
