If You Were God

If looking at it from another way
 We push technology
 To its furthest possible development
 And we had instead of a dial telephone on one's desk
 A more complex
 System of buttons
 And one touch, beep
 Would give you anything you want
 Aladdin's lamp
 You would eventually have to introduce a button
 Labeled "Surprise"
 Surprise
 Surprise
 Because all perfectly known futures as I pointed out
 Are past
 They have happened
 Virtually
 It is only the true future is a surprise
 It is only the true future is a surprise
 So, if you were God
 You would say to yourself
 Man get lost
 And it's strange
 That this idea is obscurely embedded
 In the Christian tradition
 When in the Epistle to the Philippians
 Saint Paul speaks
 Of
 God the Son
 The logos
 The Word of God
 Who was incarnate in Christ
 And says
 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus
 Who being in the form of God
 Thought not equality with God a thing to be clung to
 But made himself of no reputation
 And humbled himself
 And was found in fashion as a man
 And became obedient to death
 Same idea
 Same idea as the idea of the dream
 That very far out dream
 Same idea as the idea of the dream
 That very far out dream
 Same idea as the idea of the dream
 That very far out dream
 Same idea as the idea of the dream
 Getting as extreme
 As you can get
 As you can get
 As you can get
 And so, this then is the basis
 Of the Hindu view
 Of the universe and of Man
 The Hindu looks upon the universe as a drama
 The Westerner of course, looks upon the universe as a construct
 As something made
 And it is not therefore insignificant that
 Jesus was the son of the carpenter
