You are the Prophet, that doubts yourself.
the King, that worships himself.
You are the living, that kills itself.
the Meaning, that turns itself into language.

You 're the garbage, that bathes in your purification.
and the Answer, that keeps asking the Question.

We already are everything we ever need and want to be, it's the way we realize this that defines us.

A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over 30 years. One day a stranger walked by.

"Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his baseball cap.

"I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then he asked: "What's that you are sitting on?"

"Nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember."

"Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger.

"No," said the beggar. "What's the point? There's nothing in there/"

"Have a look inside," insisted the stranger.

The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold.

God pretending not to be.
The one consciousness experiencing its self for the hell of it.

God is real! Not to be forced upon, but mentioned. The Bible tries to teach us to be fishers' of men. How do you fish? Do you dive in, gun's blazing, or do you throw out a little bait for whosoever should decide to take a little nibble?

I didn't like the title but I loved the way you wrote that poem. Id like to view it as about human potential and worth and how we should have a positive image about ourselves and to show that God loves us all.
