Tremble in Fear

"Abraham believed, and therefore he was young; for he who always hopes for the best becomes old, deceived by life, and he who is always prepared for the worst becomes old prematurely; but he who retains faith retains eternal youth. " - S. Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling

Faith in what, Mister philosopher?
Faith in God? God's not playing basket-
ball in the cul-de-sac, He's not screaming
in the McDonald's playground,
He's not reserving valuable airtime on
a large network to promote his new
"half-priced" law firm, and He's certainly
not driving in our petrol-drinking auto-
mobiles.

No, where is God today? I'd like
to have a little chat with Him.

If God is within, inside like the Taco
Bell you scarfed down last night
at one in the morning, if God takes
his place in your stomach your lungs
your heart your cock your pussy
your eyes your lips your mind your
penal gland your feet--
if God is us, then we must must
must must must have faith in ourselves.

because there's really basically nothing left
to feel. 
Isn't
that sad?
I think
it might
be the
saddest thing
since Michael
Jackson.
